This is my
favorite photo of this week.
This comment from Greg and others who have commented on Chris's picture prompts me to ask a question of you all, at the risk of starting a new thread.
 
In the context of taking photographs of people,and excepting studio portraits, should one shoot first and ask questions afterwards or should one seek to have at least tacit consent before taking the photograph.
 
For my own part I would often prefer to take the picture and then, maybe, discuss with the subject how I might use it and to this end I prefer to work with telephoto lenses and from a distance that does not intrude on the subjects 'space'.
 
I'd like your views please, either from the point of view of etiquette or from the point of view of getting the best out of the subject and the circumstances.
