For a self-confessed first attempt I think you have made a pretty good job of things. Pointing the camera at people is more in your mind than theirs. I have never had anyone say "Hey, what you doing?" but have had many who have said "Oops sorry, I am in your way". I am sure others here will say the same thing. The most important thing is to keep pressing the button. Look forward to seeing more soon!
