I hesitate to take pictures of children on the street nowadays using a camera, even though it is legal to take photos in a public place in Ireland. Funnily, people don't seem so bothered about mobile phone cameras or security cameras. Traditional cameras stand out too much, so maybe I should revert to my IIIc.
