How to overcome the feeling of passers-by when shooting street documentary photography with SLR?

1, use telephoto, and it is a low-key telephoto. Don't use small white, small black, small bamboo cannon, small dragon running points and other equipment, so you can know it is telephoto at a glance, and it is very high-profile. Everyone knows it's a sneak shot. Generally, the lens of Sima, Longteng's 70300 or our own 55300, that is, 1000 yuan, is black and relatively small. Don't be afraid of the picture quality. It's good when the weather is good. This machine can be turned up a little, so that it won't blur.

2, don't carry a professional camera bag, just an ordinary backpack. Or simply don't carry a backpack, don't use too awesome shoulder straps, and it's best to replace them with ordinary color shoulder straps without LOGO. Others will think it is a bag. Be sure to look unprofessional.

3, it is best not to use Canon Nikon's full-frame machine or high-end machine, because the head is relatively large, and you have an idea at a glance. It is best to use a toy camera such as Micro-single or Pentax K0 1. People certainly don't think that the picture quality of such a toy machine is no better than that of a single camera.

4, you can use super wide angle, the focal length is locked to infinity, the camera is hung on the chest, and the shutter is almost pressed. . Then come back and cut it. Because you are not holding a camera, most people will not notice.

If you must use a SLR, remember not to use1755,2470, Canon all-L head, Nikon all-tauren, machines with a price above 60D from Canon, machines with a grade of 50d and 40d from Nikon D90. Be sure to use a small machine, so that others will think you are an amateur, and you can relax your vigilance.
