Pretending to adjust my lens cap lets me set up shots without staring

I fumble with my camera gear while really framing the scene to avoid making subjects uncomfortable.

That lens cap move is a lifesaver. I always feel so awkward when people notice me staring through the viewfinder.

Yeah, @reeses12 nailed it, though I'll often adjust my strap like I'm fixing it while really composing the shot.

On my morning commute, everyone's suddenly an expert at shoe-gazing.
