When I have done some street photography in the past, its been camera up to the eye, mostly with people's back towards me.
Got a bit braver this time (thanks to other SP photographers on TP had it dangling around my neck as short as the strap would allow. Made some mistakes and hopefully will learn from those to get more in-focus images. Took the missus and little one with me so I looked more like a tourist. Occasionally popping up the camera to the eye to take crap shots just to mingle-in and not be so noticeable.
Took the canon 600d (crop sensor) and the tokina 11-16mm so some of these, were VERY close, am fairly happy though I know I can get better one's next time.
Any tips on improvements would be great. The tokina 11-16mm was a bit lens-heavy, pulling the lens towards the ground, remote shutter (wired) into my pocket and just clicked away as I walked around. The other hand, supporting the camera and lens so I might switch to the 50mm f1.8 prime next time.
Photos taken today, about midday at Bridgnorth, Shropshire, bit of a european-food market going on so nice and busy.
1.. Started off in Costa's with a bucket of coffee.

Thanks for looking, SP I can see is going to be quite addictive!! If I get a fair response with these, will post up more, I dont want to bore anyone if the images don't do anything for anyone.
