Guest stnami Posted October 3, 2006 Share #1 Posted October 3, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) There is a consistant want for a so called 'discreet street camera' (a dumb term if I ever heard one) * People are not stupid they know when cameras are around * Tourists and out of towners have cameras * ... or is it case I got a photo and they didn't know... I must be good at this aka sneaky Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stnami Posted October 3, 2006 Share #3 Posted October 3, 2006 ... but. but it is polite to take photos with a small camera , weddings,parties and everyHilton you need the big SingleLR mammas People use small cameras like cluxies at funerals, the guest of honor doesn't care ... probably due to being dead discreet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_x2004 Posted October 3, 2006 Share #4 Posted October 3, 2006 MP sounds discrete to me. Without being hideosly upskirt sleazy. Yea I would get an MP or something like that out at a funeral. Hey I wonder if everyones favourite smelly raincoat would embrace a mobile phone camera if he were starting out today? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_x2004 Posted October 3, 2006 Share #5 Posted October 3, 2006 Probably not. He probably got an undeserved but popular cliched reputation from all the bods that just sneak shots because they wont face their demons with a short lens... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stnami Posted October 3, 2006 Share #9 Posted October 3, 2006 Sorry about the currawongspeak Vic, well not really but sorta. Personally I don't really care if the punters are aware of what I do with a camera, I take a shot, shrug and if they tell me to fornicate with a funnelweb spider I explain the difficulties involved in such activities. It all helps because I don't even know why I bother taking photographs .. but the questions that appear on this forum time and time again.. is this a good discreet street camera etc,,,, jeeeez what's wrong with a rangefinder try a leica daaaar!!!
