A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I'm just using a small 18-45 mm, so it's not too big.
Thanks for the advice. I'm going into town this week. I'm going to chill and get comfortable. See how I feel.
I like your suggestion of keeping the camera up after taking the photo. it makes it less obvious what you've taken a picture of.
Also, if you have a mirrorless camera turning on silent shutter mode can be super helpful when trying to be discreet
👍 hadn't really thought about that.
It definitely helps. This is probably my favourite street photo that I took. I stood in this location for about 10 minutes with my camera in position waiting for people to walk into shot. Had to be fairly close too as this was shot with a 35mm lens. It’s not perfect but for someone who gets super nervous taking photos in public I’m happy with it.
