It's all in the technique !! I can do it right in front of others to the point that they don't know what they just saw me do !
Any pointers other than the usual things?
Yes... Many
Do not hold the phone perpendicular to the ground. Put it at an angle like you're texting.
Keep your eyes focused looking ahead of you at times like you're more focused on your surroundings then at (taking a photo)...
Act like you're texting or swiping looking at some article perhaps.
DO NOT STOP. Keep walking, take the photo IN MOTION. Who takes photos in motion ?? You're not taking a photo are you ? Yes YOU ARE, today's technology allows you to take photos in motion so as you're not too close and you or the car isn't going FAST.
Check to see that there's not a lot of people. 1 or 2 is fine... 3 to 5 is a bit riskier... More than 5 increases the chance that someone is studying you and there is more of a chance to get caught. If you master this technique however, it will not matter how many people are nearby... As long as they're not right behind you of course !!
Turn your screen brightness level DOWN so that people cannot see that you're in camera mode !
Disable flash... Verify it is off before you start your activities lol
