I don't have a viewfinder for my 15/4.5, so there's not much to look through anyway.

thanx, that one is done with my mobile phone Nokia E51, flipped upside down. 😀
Usualy i set the focus by selecting distance on my Minolta 7sII from its focusing scale 0'9 - 5m - infinity, set the exposure to 1/125 in bright days to achieve larger depth of field and less focusing problems.
It's fun anyway! 🙂

Ι remember in these 4 that the scene happened so quickly and so close to me that there was simply no time to bring the camera to my eye. So I just pointed it in their general direction:

Spyro, very powerful photographs, scene, moments. Especially the 1st, 2nd and 4th.

The Indecisive Moment. I like many of these examples. Several years ago I was practicing this with a Sony digital point & shoot in B/W mode (much more affordable to practice and waste a few shots with digital vs film). The biggest problem I had was controlling the horizon tilt, had to do with the way in which I was holding the camera. I've figured out since that a small bubble level, attached to the hotshoe connector, helps one to control the tilt without reverting to the VF or LCD screen.
Regarding the compositions resulting from semi-random shooting, it's surprising how good some of them can be. It also reminds me that some of the results are very much unlike what I would do if I purposefully attempted such shots by looking through the VF. In subsequently studying the results from an extensive round of random shooting, my shooting style has begun to be influenced by this practice, which I think lends credence to the view that this can be a valid photographic methodology.
Pictures to follow, I'm away from home on business. Hope to see more great examples.

What an excellent thread!
Kudos to all the talented photographers here.
unfortunately, I was never satisfied with my stealth photography (that's the way I call it), so I have nothing to contribute. 🙁

I like guessing the distance and the low perspective, and I practice. Here's a recent shot:

It's important to adapt the eyes to the length of the lens 🙂 I sometimes forget that Minolta 7sII has 40mm , and need to step back a bit, but on other hand I don't need to get very close to the subject - which might be distracting and rude sometimes.

And here are three more from Paris, camera hung on its strap around my neck with a self-timer photo. Hands free is the way to go. (Hexar AF)

Wow, that's a very clever way (also the only possible way) to photograph this kind of events!
great photos.
