I've tried to take some pictures with my dslr there, but it immediately draws attention and people are always asking what kind of photos I take. Because here dslr almost immediately translates to a professional or at least some kind of journalist. Almost no tourists carry dslr, only small pocket cameras.

I shot with fully manual exposure, camera is absolutely too slow to capture quick situations with automatic exposure modes. And if the sun is blocked or suddenly shines and I don't have time to adjust exposure or aperture to more suitable for the situation, pictures are too dark or blown out. And only usable iso-sensitivity for my nimble superzoom is 80 or max 100.
