On a DSLR i snipe (why waste the advantage of a dslr?) ,
On the rangefinder i estimate distance, close up the aperture (when in the day), and raise to my face only to frame and shoot. If the situation doesn't seem right for eye level focusing, i'll practise waist level shooting :sweatsm:
On my Pentacon Six, i get the best results with the waist level finder. They sometimes look to my camera, but probably not because i'm taking a picture of them, but more of a "wow nice ancient camera". Although Singapore's streetlife can get abit boring (excuses? :bsmilie
so i seldom take this baby out for a spin here. Do bring it overseas though. The slides are stunning for landscape and i get to do pretty decent street shooting on it.
So far no unpleasant experiences, but perhaps that's just my luck.
I have only had a pleasant experience, one where a beautiful girl was used as the point of focus in the photograph, and she came over to ask me about the interesting looking camera (Pentacon Six). Sat down for a few mins to twiddle with the camera and she passed me her number asking for the photograph with her in it and to also look at some of the pictures it produced xD
+1 for film photography.
