This is my 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.
