I am a quite shy person ad often, when i find an interesting composition-subject (like a person doing something, a goup of people in a nice setting etc), i struggle to capture it because i feel like i’m being rude taking pictures without their approval, but at the same time i think that, by asking them, the spontaneity of the shot would be compromised. What’s your take about it?
So in the past a trick I’ve used is to let the camera hang by the strap, and have a bulb in my pocket. When I see someone interesting I aim in the general direction and snap the photo. This accomplishes two things - not only do you not take your subject out of the moment, the random nature of not using the view finder gives you some very cool angles.
