Street photography is one area I would really like to go into. Walking through streets filled with people and taking snapshots can be very challenging. Being the shy person that I am doesn't help much as tons of confidence is needed when doing street photography. What I do is I use a zoom lens so that I can keep my distance. Another technique is to shoot from the hip, e.g., set the camera to shutter priority and select a fast shutter speed, point the camera on a subject without looking at the viewfinder and shoot! Of course, I get mixed result from this technique, some are even interesting shots, but very few keepers. The best way of course is to ask permission...something that I'm working on.
