That people walking by nearly always look in the direction you have your camera pointed? :rofl:

Just staring at something, close or far, is enough to
get people to ask: "What is seen that I don't see?" :P

Light is free… capturing it is not!

OH yes, simply staring into space will have most at least taking a quick look up to see what's cooking.  LOL

There was one study I had read that showed 27% of people gaze followed with what the test subject was looking at.

27% seems kind of low.  I would have guessed that be much higher.

We see this often on the freeways too, which is what causes nasty traffic each time there is anything going on the side of the roads!
