i jus enjoy taking pictures, i do need to learn the camera alot better though and understand the settings so that i can make quick adjustments whilst out - adjustments that i know will get a better picture.

i go anywhere and everywhere.


I normally see soething, take a pic on my phone, then head back out with the proper camera later at the same time another day to see if i can capture it again.


Depends what you're after, if you're just a hobbyist if thats a word, just look out for stuff that interests you.


When i go out taking photo's, i always look at my surroundings as if im in a picture book if you get me, so i get composition and positioning into my thoughts :)

think i'll try that when i eventually go out...

Where do most people visit? Country side ot towns?

when i go out photographing i dont care if people are looking.

The only people that piss me off is when you get the perfect shot/angle, and someone turns around and looks straight at the camera with a stupid face lol.

I used to be nervous, but i found when doing my uni work, the more confident you are, the less people 'notice' you if you get me.


A weird shifty looking photographer is more suspect than someone looking controlled and confident.



Just be up your own arse while out haha :)

My worry is what adam_b mentioned earlier, if your in a public place where there is children, i am always careful to point the camera away. Peopleknow your not taking pictures of kids but its just easier to avoid a confrontation.

I will be cycling as soon as the weather picks up and i have a very smart backpack designed for a camera and its goodies :)

When i feel like it/need to get some shots/when York play at home

when i was taking the pic in my avatar some woman came up in a really posh sort of agressive voice and went

'excuse me, what are you doing with that camera?!' I thought oh great she is gonna acuse me of taking pics of kids or something, i said 'im photographing this car.' She then goes 'oh ok, i thought you were bird watching i was going to ask you about this one i've just seen.' and wandered off.

right ok :lol:

I spent 90mins at a train station last night with my tripod taking long exposure shots.

I got a few odd looks but who cares. It was bloody cold though.

Camera is always with me, dont take as many as i'd like :( Try once a week to get some done, still learning :)

i take my camera everywhere in my car, im always takin snaps.

not as often as id like to tbh, its too cold, wet and windy atm (in the evenings anyway) plus my missus has nicked my tripod for a bit :lol:

I hop on my bike, maybe once a fortnight or every 3 weeks or so and go for a cycle with a smallish backpack on.

Sometimes take a mate, sometimes go on my own. Bit like you when I have the camera around my neck - nervous I suppose - but chuck it in the backpack and no-one knows what you're doing :)

Its gangs of chavs im bothered about, Im a chav my self anyway, think il just start sticking my hood up :lol:

Its never sunny anymore so i don't bother.

Know what you mean about getting paranoid, hate people staring over at me.

whenever i see a photo opportunity really :lol:

I seem to get the urge at least once a week, but then get so paranoid when I do :(

How often are you lot out?
