You should get out and enjoy yourself.

Don't worry about peoples opinions, by the time you get home & look at all the great pictures you captured, you will never remember who was looking or what people were thinking.

I remember one of the first times I brought my gear out into public, I was trying to photograph some interesting shots in NYC, and I could swear that all 1,000,000 people were staring at me, all at the same time. I felt like I was almost doing something wrong.

Well, when I look back at all the amazing shots I took, I laugh at how silly I felt. It is completely in your own mind.

Just go out & have fun. I'm sure you already are wishing that you just took those damn photos already, so just do it.
