Afraid Of Street Photography?.....Shoot From The Hip!

Are you a budding street photographer but are held back by being afraid to point your camera at people in the street, Do what I do and practise shooting without looking through the viewfinder using a wide angle lens(I use 18mm) shoot from low down or just under your chin people dont suspect a thing I have got some great shots using this method also the fear of taking someones pic seemed to go after a couple of outings and I was snapping the usual way, try it out I can promise you, you will get much better shots this way
