How long does it take to get used to the nerves/adrenaline of this hobby?

God I love the adrenaline I get from this but it’s to the point where I move to quick and am not getting decent enough shots. How long did it take you guys to get over the “nerves” from capping?

I feel you i just started capping for the 1st time on a cruise i was recently on and holy hell the adrenaline rush doing it was absolutely insane as soon as i started i became sooo addicted, i captured so many bikini baddies and booties in all their glory and no matter how many i would cap it was never enough i always wanted more!! i spent all day of every day on that cruise on the pool deck just looking any hotties that caught my eye and practically gave myself sun poisoning because of it but it was well worth every second!

You eventually get used to it. Honestly depends how often you do it.

There will be some subjects that are soo amazing (to your tastes) that the adrenaline still spikes a bit because of your eagerness for the cap, but you can contain those emotions a lot better by then

I only cap during the hot season so I take long breaks in bet/ween episodes of a lot of capping. Last summer, even though Ive been doing this for years, when I saw my first potential target I got so nervous and full of adrenaline my hands went numb.

It’s kinda weird but I’ve noticed a confidence or at least lower stress or care level during other things in my life when not capping, I think the adrenaline boost and the risk of it kinda made me not care about anything else in comparison.

I actually have noticed this too.

When I’m capping I’m usually super anxious in a public area because I’m doing something I’m obviously not supposed to do. I’ve been confronted and busted pretty badly more than once.

Because of my experiences capping I do tend to feel much more comfortable in regular public situations because nothing feels worse than getting called out for being a creep.

Tips for rookies? Im trying to get into this but i dont know how lol. Im always thinking theres someone behind me and will see

I might have a little other advise for you. Usually when I’m doing things that give me adrenaline rush, it boosts my ego a little bit. When I’m capping, I’m just nervous because I feel ashamed, if I would cap everyday I would feel miserable. So I don’t want this kind of adrenaline.

There are lots of ways to make pics while severely lowering the chance to get caught. Forum members have made great inventions to disguise their phone/camera as something else

Lately, I mostly only cap with optical zoom so there is at least 10 meter (30 feet) from me to the girl. It’s not always ideal, but you can definitely get some nice images using optical zoom.

Honestly, the adrenaline is kinda subconsciously what we all chase. The feeling of doing something so wrong and getting away with it is the high we chase. But with that being said, as you get better and more experienced, you start to be more calm. Atleast in my experience haha.

I’ve done this for a few years now on and off, third summer doing this regularly, even still the hottest targets get me super nervous, but others not at all. Never been confronted, only been “busted” a couple of times on footage and another few times the targets have acted a bit suspicious and nervous, but never confronted me (I usually back off if it seems to be that way).

  1. Take a deep breath, as with any other case of social anxiety.
  2. When you’re sure the surroundings are clear, proceed with “fake it until you make it”; you are the first one that has to believe that you are chill and that you look chill.

From there, Jesus takes the wheel.

Haha Jesus, that dirty old basterd, so this is all his work

It’s so crazy how you legally don’t even need to be discreet, you can walk up to a girl with the most gigantic camera imaginable and scream: “ah yes these pics of your ass are going to look amazing, that jeans you’re wearing is a gift from God! You can almost see your ass crack, can’t wait to put all this stuff online. Shake that thang mami!”

As long as you’re in a public location that is :joy: wouldn’t recommend home invasion

I actually agree! I do notice that I rarely go back to a lot of caps that I was excited for. I have a few that I really like, but the rest I haven’t looked at other than days 1-5 lol some I don’t even look at after day 1

It never goes away. However, the more you cap the better your caps will be. My caps right now are way smoother and better than those I made 4 months ago. Over time you will know more about when to do riskier caps, when to retreat and how to deal with different environments, you will be more creative about how you will hold your camera for different angles, and you will have a better understanding how your brain reacts to different situations and how many mental false images it gives you just for capping. You will have your own tips and tricks and have a setup that “works” for you.
