Having to send this again as the previous attempt went over the 10Kb limit for size. 10Kb?!??
Interesting. I guess it’s an aspect of different cultures’ perceptions. Generally speaking I have no problems photographing in public. Mind you, I have been doing it with big video cameras for over 30 years! I find that photographing with a phone, nobody cares at all - so probably the best street camera is in fact a phone!! I do like a small camera for street though, all set up with a deep depth of field and pre-focussed ready to go so it just needs lifting to the eye or even shooting from the hip. Years ago, a pap told me that it was getting ever more difficult to photograph celebs and royalty on holiday at the beaches of the rich and famous. They used to keep their DSLRs and long lenses hidden under towels until the last second to getb their sordid images. Security wisened up to this ploy and it became ‘difficult’… One bright spark had a change of plan - he would take a more consumer -type camera with a fixed zoom lens with him, as well as his girlfriend. They would make a holiday of it themselves, and on the beach he would stand her between his camera and the subject, so it looked like he was snapping her instead of the lazing entourage beyond! If one really wanted to be incognito on the street, just wander about with an Insta360 on a stick, recording video, and choose the still frames afterwards on a rainy day. But where’s the skill in that??
