STREET PHOTOGRAPHY IN SMALL TOWN IS CONSIDERABLY HARDER
Yesterday I´ve watched interview with Gus Powell ( https://youtu.be/qlpN83m7aD0?si=aNuyQZoUgH\_ZyXQ1 https://youtu.be/qlpN83m7aD0?si=aNuyQZoUgH_ZyXQ1 ) and again tought to myself how much easier is to be street photographer in New York City. Street photography is in my top two favorite styles of photography, but by living in small town it is much harder to shoot it. I had couple of minor incidents, but I´m not talking about this primarily. When you holding a camera on ther street everyone looks at you, people avoid you and don´t like being photographed. I was almost shocked how Gus Powell walks down the street and take photos, people just don´t care, like he isn´t there. There is certainly some cultural differences, but I think that in cosmopolitan cities is so much easier to shoot street photos than in small towns or villages.

How do you know that your equipment is holding you back or is just a problem with skill ?
I have a D5100 paired with a 35mm 1.8 and another 28-75mm 2.8 with no stabilization. I am stating to get somewhat decent at the basics but still struggle sometimes, but recently I got my hands on a Z5 and all the shots that I was normally struggling with were getting perfect with so much less effort.
So my question kinda is that by keeping the 5100 am I holding by developing back ? Instead of spending time trying to counter my struggles with trying to focus moving objects, fighting the autofocus in low light and lack of stabilization, I could focus more of getting the shot that I want, so is this a case where my old camera is holding me back or just skill issue ?
