Exercise: What is Street Photography?
The link to lfph.org site is not working. Tried for an hour to find a way round it but then gave up.
I found an essay by Eric Kim on this subject and will use it as my guide.

For the picture taking exercise I picked the brief of sitting in one place for an hour and waiting to see what turned up. The selected place was a bench in Deal High Street outside St. Georges Church. The camera I chose was my smallest and most discrete, a Canon G12, set on AP at f8, and with all the sounds turned off.
I wanted candid shots and so hid the camera, as best I could, in my lap and took the images using the tilting screen. I looked at the camera as little as possible.
The results are below.
Boy with dog.
Spotted by a neighbour.
Lady reading newspaper.
Pushing the prams.
Snapped snappers.
In the hour I was seated on the bench only two people appeared to spot what I was doing, one, my neighbour is featured above; the second, the lady reading her newspaper clocked me after my forth shot of her.
Not the most exiting pictures but they do reflect Deal High Street during the time I was there. This a technique I will use again.
