I like them!
I like the one where you got the guy eating Chinese food and his expression on his face.

You guys have more courage than me.
I love street photography but I just don't have the guts to do it.

You guys have more courage than me. I love street photography but I just don't have the guts to do it. I use a Panasonic Lumix GX7 with a 20mm f1.7 lens. The camera is slung around my neck and I fire the shutter with my thumb. I never look into the viewfinder or at the LCD display. Quite often I look away whilst pointing the camera in the general direction of the subject. The GX7 also has a silent shutter mode which I wouldn't do without. |

So you're the sneaky kind.  That I could do. My previous attempts involved a 300mm lens so I can shoot subjects from far wy without being detected lol. Sent from my Nexus 7 using proboards |

When I go shooting out in the streets I use my Ricoh GR IV and I use snap focusing so there's no shutter lag so you're quick and quiet and nobody notices you as much. In my opinion when you use big cameras or long lenses people seem to get more upset since they feel that you're intruding on their privacy. A couple days ago a lady caught me taking her picture while she was sitting down. She went up to me and told me did you just take my picture? She was huge she almost look like a track and field runner. I replied yeah, she asked me why? I replied because you're beautiful, and I smiled. I just walked away and it seems like everything was fine with her. For a second I was sh*tting a brick. |

There's nothing wrong with it as long as you are in a public place. |

Luckily I haven't had any incidents.
A few months ago I took a Street photography class taught by Eric Kim, and I learned so much on how to get over my phobia of actually going to people and asking permission for their picture. You'll be surprise at of all the people I asked maybe one of them said no, but it was actually hard to get a rejection. It really helped me just to deal with the social phobia.
He's pretty well-known and teaches worldwide.

While I like these shots, and love photography myself, I do hate it when people take photos of me.
Had it recently at a station, when me a friend took 2 seconds to sit down, and had 3 people sitting across from us ready to photograph. After a long day working, and getting wind swept, was the last thing i needed.
And im sure alot of people view it similarly, so i have a real hard time taking pictures having that thought in the back of my mind

That's a neat concept! Great shots by the way! Ditto, they are some fantastic photos. I would have no problem having someone take my picture, it's no big deal and really doesn't take any effort on the subject's part. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
