Want to know a simple way to improve your photography?
Mute the volume on your camera so that when you turn it on, it does not make that annoying start up sound and won't beep every time your camera focuses.
Silencing the beep will help you get better photos. To get better candid shots you want to try and blend in. Camera sounds don't help that cause. When people hear that beep they know someone is taking a picture, so they are going to awkwardly scan the room to see who is taking their photo and there goes your "natural" moment.
I was in a meeting recently and besides the person speaking, the only other noise was someones camera making digital shutter sounds. Please don't be that person. :)

Have photographers ever been a distraction to you? Do you need to go turn your camera beep off? Let us know in the comments.
