The only place i don't feel awkward is when i'm visiting the Wetlands Centre in Barnes coz everybody has their cameras with them. How many of you feel the same?
It depends what my subject is. Views, plants etc - no problem. Some people get curious when I set up the tripod or lie in the mud with a camera, but generally I find them interested rather than objecting. People shots are a different matter though. I was asked recently to provide some publicity shots for a local charity event - this meant getting photo release forms signed by people in the shots, and doing a bit of guidance/posing the subjects. Much harder than it looks! I think I'll stick to nature.
