when you go travelling do you thrust your camera in the face of the local people,? some of the photos of woophy would not be to my liking if I was the one on the wrong end of the camera. do any of you ask before you take peoples photos?

straight close up pictures are allways kindly asked for, and also pictures of peoples belongings, house, garden etc, but in that case the owner has to be around.
it is never rejected to make a picture of someone, and here in Hungary where lots of the old villagers and farmers have never seen a digital camera before I contacted them are very surpised by seeing thereselves instantly on the monitoring screen, it's always great fun.

i hardly ever take pictures of people... i'm not good at it.
but i would first take the picture and then ask.. then the best pictures taken are when they don't know it! or maybe i would not ask, but i should.
do you ask dingo?

@Dingo: I have the same problem, I like portrait pictures, but feel a little embarrassed to take them. Sometimes I really want to take a picture and then I ask if it's allright. Most of the times it is ok or they make a joke and say that it cost a lot of money. But that is only taking the picture, for publishing the picture I would also like to have permission but it's hard to trace the person later, so you have to ask immediate. I have lots of nice people/children's pictures that I don't publish for the reasons I mentioned.
@Kace: Yes, I experienced that too, how much fun you can have with people that never saw a (video) camera!

liesbeth , on the odd time i have taken peoples photos i have asked .i was in holland many many years back when someone on tour with me took a photo of a couple of ladies of the night.. well there minder got very mad at us and only cooled down when the film was taken out of the camera. and from that day on i see that it is not our right to take pictures without asking.. on whoopy i see photos of people bathing in rivers and i wunder how i would feel if it was them sticking their camera in to my bathroom to photo graph me..i say take photos ,, but with respect for your subject at all times..

Hello,
Never it has even hapened me to have to ask to take a picture to somebody, in addition, I am a great believer of which the best pictures are those that the person does not realize from which they take a photo to him. Second never before had been able to take a picture from somebody until weeks ago, I bought a new camera with 10x of zoom lens, reason why the person not finds out that the picture is to him. Until usually it is gret in the picture, the surprise face that the person naturally puts, when he sees that the lens definitively focuses him. : )
Greetings,
Marcos Rowinski.
I tryed to make my English as clear as posible.

Hello
I always ask people if thay agree I make a photo of them if this is a portrait. In general they agree, especially with a numaric camera, because they can see the result.
Obviously when this in in a crowdy place I don't. What I like to do also is making photos of people when they turn back. It gives a little taste of mystery
(I realize I must improve my english, I hope this site will help)

Hi,
I do not always ask if it is ok, but more so i dont take the picture when it feels like breaking into there privacy..
When i was in Thailand then often i putt the camera down because of the proud that people have.. it felt like intruding intother lifes..
But if it is a public place or happening.. then i rearly ask for permission (not by words ;-), just making eye contact)
If they know ur taking the picture it is not natural anymore..
Sometimes i am setting the camera and holding it in the right place taking the picture while not looking thru the focus.. are u doing this as wel to getting more naturale pictures??
