Thanks Paul, that's what bothers me. Street photography is something I can relate to as it's actually very much like photographing wildlife. The subjects do what they are doing, unaware of my camera, and so I can make a very natural looking photograph out of it!Raj, think of it as street shooting, with subjects that won't (hopefully) run away, and will smile in your direction. Also don't discount the blackmail possibilities of really bad poses/faces.
The problem for me starts when people start posing, that's an entirely new universe for me.. :meh:
I agree with you totally. It's why I can get pretty nice pictures of my kids, and sometimes other peoples' kids. They're like wildlife conditioned to the camera (which is nearly always on my hip or at my eye), doing their thing, ignoring me. Even portraits, I get the shot all ready and then call their name to get their attention, and click. Adults and posing is just awkward.
Your f2.8-4 from pixmedic is better than my f/4-5.6 zoom, so it's a middle ground on the 1.8 prime. Go take some indoor shots! They're frustrating, but I'm sure you'll do fine.
