I’ve recently got my first camera. I mainly want to document what’s around me
I like the idea of doing some pov style videos (with gopro and camera) and taking pictures. Street photography, I guess.
The thing is, when I’m using it, I feel really self-conscious. Like the whole world is watching and noticing me. I know this is ridiculous because if I saw someone, I wouldn’t even think twice about them.
I’ve only really attempted this around where I live because I thought that would be easier, but when I think about it now, this might be making it harder vs. if I went into my nearest city.
Think about attempting my nearest city tomorrow. My thinking is that in a city, people are more busy, more used to people doing random shit, etc.
My conclusion is that I just need to keep attempting and putting myself out there, and I’ll get used to it eventually.
Any advice would be great.
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.
