I'm trying to get better at taking street photos. I'm getting more confident at it, but it still gets pretty damn awkward when people glare at you for taking their photo.

Small photo dump of stuff from last night.

I was really unhappy with that photo being out of focus, it could have been pretty sweet. I was shooting mostly at 1.4, so any subject movement pretty much threw them out of the focus plane.

Maybe i should have made a gear thread... more people would be replying...

I'd recommend using a prime lens. Maybe a 35 or 50, and get near the subjects. Take the photo and walk away.
I know it's awkward, but you'll eventually get used to it. Don't worry about blurriness and out of focus photos that much... that didn't prevent Henri Cartier-Bresson from making photographs with incredible content, although not sharp.

I know the best trick for street photos. Just do it with a smile. :) I don't know why but it works. You make them feel special rather than exploited. When you are exploiting - shoot from the hip.

My camera's neck strap has my university on it so people just assume I'm a photojournalist or photography student or something.

That's actually a really cool idea, fake photo j markings or something. cool cool.

This works. When I was a student I always wore a t-shirt with my school's name on it when I went out shooting. It also helps to go with a friend, preferably one who also is shooting.
