@Scrivna thanks Ross, I liked the one tip, where you scan and pretend you are still scanning but have the shot in the bag.

@mrsb1980 Thanks Rebecca, I am always nervous but I think the tip for photographing the buskers is a good idea and might help us be a bit more comfortable taking the camera.

Btw - buskers are an incredibly easy way to get true street photography... W everyone looking at the busker and w everyone having their cameras out, no one is going to notice if you're actually taking pictures of the observers :)
