Only look at them in the lens viewfinder! If necessary make a slight foot change as though you are shooting behind them. Then they'll ignore you in 99.9% of the time. :-) Yep it takes a little gut feeling practice but it works! cheers, Dr. ted :-) After doing so look beyond them ----- Original Message ----- From: "Herbert Kanner" <kanner at acm.org> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Monday, August 29, 2011 11:56 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] IMG Conversation > Thanks for the encouragement; I took a few more yesterday at a street art > fair, a situation where people are so absorbed in gawking or eating that > they just don't notice me.
