    I think it is less of a problem for me, as i just use my phone, rather than carry a camera - but on the few occasions i have felt uncomfortable due to people, or an old pub being a house say, i look for the best angle, have my phone set to camera already, then take the picture quickly and clear-off at pace. I also took off the annoying sounds that the phone makes when you take a picture - for indoor shots of pubs. So far, so good!

    I am very wary of taking pictures involving kids, mainly because I am old bald bloke with beard & camera, 2+ 2 sometimes makes 5 for some folk, so I tend to avoid, or stand well back & use the zoom lens

    I would be very carefull doing anything near a nursery,

    My daughter is a qualified nursery worker and she plus most nursery workers are all angry when talking to anyone older the 4 years old.

    Dont get involved with nurserys,i could tell you lots more stories about the one opposite me and all the problems they have caused to us over the years.

    A none risky photo event. Was in Winchester last Sunday, photographing The Black Boy and a smoker politely offered to move away from door, and then gave more info on closed nearby pubs

    Maybe a good reflection on The Black Boy clients

    Nice change from "oi why are you taking photos"?
