I made this post the other day about being self-conscious in public.

Thanks for all of the advice, some really good ideas and words of encouragement!

So, today I decided to go into the city and try again.

I was recording with the gopro and taking pictures. I said before going out that my aim today was to go out, get used to people looking and probably feel a little awkward 🙃.

Well the good news is I did it and I’m still alive. Through myself in at the deep end. I’ve been up, down the high street and round the Christmas market.

Downside I didn’t get any pictures haha. Felt a little nervous to take them, even so my camera was mostly up 🤦🤷‍♀️.

I think next time, I’ll feel even more comfortable hopefully. Felt like I was rushing around a little day.

I’ll maybe plan my walking route and have an intention of what to shoot or at least an idea (that was a suggestion previously).

Sorry to ramble, just wanted to share.

You will realise nobody really cares as long as you are respectful and polite if challenged, you can always get an idiot but just move on, well done

Yeah, I was just trying to be confident and smile if people noticed.

A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.
