[QUOTE="J-see, post: 476987, member: 31330"] It's something we have to overcome and when we do, we discover most people have less issues with being photographed than we have with taking their shots. If you use a long lens, as I do, you maintain some comfort room. I find the 300mm perfect to grab that shot that presents itself. I can comfortably sit there for some hours and observe. I have my cam on my lap and since I prefer to shoot as wide open as possible, only need to keep an eye on the light and adjust my shutter accordingly. If there's a shot, I need but a second to get it. I tried shooting with a shorter lens but wasn't too pleased with the results. You're that close people are too aware of that cam and put on their public face. [/QUOTE]
