Nobody said that but holding the camera to your side pretending nothing happens sounds like you are doing something you shouldn't be doing. William Klein once said "I just don't make a fuss about it and nobody else seems to do so". The more natural you act the less weirdo you look/feel like...

That defeats the purpose of taking a picture. No sense of composition and structure if you are not even looking at your subject through a viewfinder

DON'T shoot from the hip. it makes you look weird. shoot properly and if people look at you just smile. I always found 35mm to be a brilliant focal length for street photos. (the tube is another story: 15mm is almost wide enough)

What do you shoot and how do you feel the d5100 is holding you back?

Have you found a good bulk DNG converter btw?

You mean all those Lynx ads were fake??? Will sue them now! :mad:

There's no right or wrong in social sciences. Just different approaches that engage in endless arguments. And no you don't want to start arguing with one of them ;)

If this is false advertising the daily mail editors would have been in jail for false news years ago..

are you surprised that the most overpriced place in the world is actually overpriced?

Have you actually thought about what creates that wow factor? colour? composition? 1. find that 2. then read about it 3. then shoot 4. then assess your photos based on what you read 5. throw those away 6. re-shoot (repeat until you don't like your photos at all) Then someone will tell you how...

I was in the same situation as you. Got a Sony a200 as it was the only camera under £200 second hand that had 10mp at that time. there's absolutely no reason to think you'll have a hard time finding lenses. there may be fewer second hand around but there's less audience as well so that kind of...
