Good point! If there’s a fat, ugly, woman in baggy pants some pervert will be there to snap a blurry pic to jerk off to.

We goan neeed that son 
LMFAO!!
After you deleted the pictures and was at a safe location, did you check the “trashcan” on your cell phone to see if the pictures are still there? Mine has one, I deleted the pics and videos. As I was leaving, someone busted me and told the manager. He talked to me and I showed him the videos and there was nothing. Still, he asked me to leave for now, at that time, but I was in the clear.

I would love to see video of their reaction and confrontation.
I got caught. Well almost. I walked out of Walmart and walked back in. They called the cops on me. Said I was trying to steal the lady’s purse. I was just trying to creep. Gotta be careful going back inside once you leave. Take the L and move onto the next spot. No vid is worth getting arrested

Anyone have a good app for dark places?
I think I got spotted taking this video in the gym lol.
Nothing happened though. I always take pics from behind so there’s a very low chance of being seen.

That app does nothing but make the screen different on a Google phone. There was a lot of other information in this post, like me having an iphone. There’s way more to the black screen and it’s covered in multiple posts.
Be well, and read on

I put this in a DM so thought I’d leave it here, seems to fit the theme:
It all depends on several things.
Who’s around, what they are paying attention to, who are they with, and the same. How distracted are they? All?
The lighting, and where it is in reference to me, the lighting on my phone, and my backdrop (blind spots) as well - who can see my phone. Lower white point, brightness, or both!?!?
Body placement, and adjusting as necessary for the above mentioned. Sometimes just roaming around and ending back up near the subject for a different view.
Knowing what time frame you have and how much time you need for the shot, what obstacles are in place and can they be used to benefit - placement, ‘hiding’, throwing attention, or just a reason to hang out while shopping. Determining cam vs pics.
And when you got all that down in a matter of seconds sometimes, then decide mid hunt to switch from pics TO cam with zero flaw and minimally looking at your phone. And being able to switch back if needed.
Examples to come…
Here’s a short video with multiple run ins, and just editing to help - <1min:
Here I was able to hang out for an extended time plus roamed around for other angles 5+mins:
This I only had 10 seconds and wasn’t ready, jumped into the crowd for the best shots possible - pics only:

For somebody that’s been doing this for awhile, it’s typically best to just leave if you were already walking out as she walked in. As tough as the temptation is, there’s always going be more out there. There’s been PLENTY of times I’ve walked out of somewhere, only to see some baddie walk in. Some times I’ll take the risk, but most times it isn’t worth it considering now everyone who was already in store’s natural curiosity as to why I’m returning is immediately piqued. Secondly, you may have been too excited, coupled with the fact you made yourself noticeable by walking back into the gas station for her, so now your anxiety levels are already higher, as well as the possibility of whoever was already in there noticing you come back in (as already mentioned).
Then, as you said, you followed her out, too. So, that probably sealed your fate.
What I always do before I begin recording is get close enough to them (but not too close) to gauge their “awareness” level. You can simply stand beside them and if they move away from you, turn around to look at you, pull their top down (they do this subconsciously), or anything to subtly acknowledge you’re there, chances are, they’re on high-alert. However, you’ll occasionally get the few that may glance at you once and then completely act like you don’t exist - which is absolutely perfect. Even more so to the ones that completely ignore you, entirely. This extends to the people around you, too. You have to get good at this skill, because it will become vital. Gauging environmental awareness and acting accordingly is a skillset you’ll need to continue doing this.
Secondly, the longer you record, the higher the risk becomes of being caught - it’s that simple. People may take notice to you and they won’t say anything so it’s best not to continuously record for extended periods of time unless you’re absolutely sure you’re able to. That being said, I’ve been caught a few times. One of which i didn’t even notice until I went home and played the video back. It’s a gut-wrenching feeling, but one you quickly learn from to do better.

Well said, @hassX. I’ve found that people walking down an isle of a store may glance once and then that’s it. If you can tell they’re done in that isle and are heading to the next, then they probably won’t look back again. Bonus if they’re talking to someone else. Pay attention to what they’re saying. I have a recording a following two people from behind and I didn’t even notice they were talking about getting things later before they stopped. I was so focused on the capture.
I haven’t managed it yet, but if there’s a line for self checkout and you’re behind someone and nobody’s behind you, especially if it’s a long line/wait, it’d be a great opportunity to “be on your phone” and get some recordings. I’d honestly say that recordings are better than pics most of the time anyways, because obviously, but you can also edit it to get gifs and screenshots.

Yeah this sums it up nicely but headphones help look less sus but you need to be able to hear so no sound should be playing

I have always used an application that allows recording in the background, even with a locked screen and toggling front or rear camera. This helps a lot and you act normal when using your phone. Even the app allows you to hide the newly created files in case someone asks you to check the phone.
