I just realized that most images i'd take would involve people, unless
i photograph landscape, architecture, abstract.
Well, there is street photography, which somewhat interests me as i
like peoplewatching. I wouldn't invade someone's privacy and i
wouldn't put a telescopic lens on a camera and photograph them in
their house, but what about people you see on a Saturday in the town
square while you drink your coffee and peopelwatch?
Do you have to ask each one if they mind you taking their picture?
what happens to spontaneity then? do you have to hide your camera? is
it illegal? and what's that "release" thing? do i need to get them to
sign stuff? would it be illegal to put someone's picture, taken on a
street, on the web? more important than legality though, is it rude?
What do you and how do you do it?
