If a Photographer taking a picture of you in public...

[kithsirica]

I'll be visiting Sri Lanka soon, haven't been back in so long. One idea I have is to do street photography there, haven't seen anyone doing that there yet.


Do you guys care if someone is taking photos of you while you are in public (just walking, hanging out, or doing something... not posing for the photo)? Would you not care, or would you get pissed off and try to attack the photographer or would you be happy that someone is taking notice?

What do you think other people's reaction would be?

good point, I usually try to do a gesture with my hands if I am about to take a picture of them (and they can see me).... hopefully work equally over there too. thanks.

I shoot a 7D and a 450D
