Do you over think when you are taking photos? Is your mind overly active, moving in different direction worrying about how you look to others as you explore the subject of interest around you? Are you afraid your going to step on someones toes and be yelled at? I guess you have to ask yourself is this subject worth my effort even if it means taking a chance on being singled out in a crowd. Do you have confidence in your self as a photographer to focus on your goal, choosing to take a great image that you and only you see. When you come to a scene whether it is a street scene in a busy city or a landscape tourist trap you must let go of your anxieties that have built up and just intuitively recognize your perceptual responses that are guiding you to your subject. This inner sight you are relying on doesn't have an ego, an I that is exploring your surroundings. Something is guiding you to your subject and if you let go and release your constricted perceptions and just let the scene reveal itself to you, let this inner sight guide you to compose a scene that is meaningful to you, your images will be worth taking.
Subjects are fleeting, light changes quickly and a momentary pause could mean the difference of getting your photo or something less revealing.
