I feel these could be so much better. Honestly I was a little timid to take pictures of people, even if they were far away. I need to be braver! Haha, C&C. Let me know what I need to improve on.

Theres not a better way to learn than to see how the best do it. You need to put away the long lenses and get in close.

Watch this. It may be the best $13.00 that you've spent in a long time.

Thanks! I will check it out! I wasn't using a long FL. It was a 17-50. It is slightly intimidating though, due to it's size on the camera. Maybe I should lose the grip for a day and grab a pancake.

Yes, there is a reason many street photographers choose rangefinders. I would loose the grip for sure.

I know I get a lot less attention when shooting on the streets with my Leica MM than I do with my DSLRs.

Isn't it funny how the ignorant people are? In their mind, big camera = STAY AWAY! Small camera = no problem. Big camera = Crazy person trying to take pictures of me and my kids / invading my privacy. Small camera = go ahead, get as close as you want. haha.
