That (pedestrian) is my attitude too. All three of these shots were shot "off the hip": manually zone focused, wide-ish 24mm, 1/1000th sec, 1600 ISO. With the strap around my neck supporting it, I operate the camera with my right hand, but I never look at it. I look at my surroundings and occasionally make eye contact with the people around. Very few seem to notice that I'm carrying a camera, and none seem to notice I'm using it.
Gradually my keeper rate is improving, but it's pretty low. :-) Thank you, Frank!
