w-what do you mean?

As a street photographer, that's how Henri Cartier Bresson did it with his Leica back then. That way you are less suspicious and can get closer to your subject, like Bresson said "if your pictures aren't good you are too far away"

>"sigma lens" not taped up
fucking gearfags

Is this the only reason to cover your camera?

I've never heard of it before.

>>2715036
I don't like giving free advertising

I..I'm afraid of black people stealing my camera. When I actually go out and do my first street photography that is.

Because my lens hood snapped so I taped it back together.

>>2715044
No.

It can also be done to make your camera look less attractive to thieves. Although it also works a bit more for street.

This is just fucking stupid because thieves know full well only faggots with really expensive cameras put tape on them to pretend they're old and crappy

because i need it to be a "streetog", i read about it on eric kims street fotogarfy blog!

I have some tape holding a rabal together, and masking tape around the edges on a
RICOH GR
I
C
O
H

G
R

to keep out the dust.

it's a conversation starter

>>2716095
Do you have a picture of the taped up GR? I'm interested to see how you've done it

>>2716097
This.
Please post a picture of it, Dill. I need to protect my GRII somehow

>>2716240
>I need to protect my GRII
leave it in the shop

Like Bresson said "You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take."
