What are your thoughts on the candid shots I take. Not if you like them, but would you feel uncomfortable if you turned around and saw me pointing the lens at you?
The reason I ask.
I started shooting some candids on Saturday and my first two shots, the first guy looked really agitated so I stopped. The second guy actually came up and asked me not to take his picture. It kind of stopped me from taking the lifestyle pictures over the weekend because my intention is not to be a "stalker" or try and catch people in embarrasing situations, but to try and show the whole "scene". I like the action shots, but I think there is more to it than that and I like showing people the behind the scenes kind of shots as well.
I try to be discrete when I'm shooting, but not for any other reason than people don't act natural once they see the camera.
Sunday afternoon a couple of girls came up to me and told me that they loved the lifestyle stuff, so I got my second wind and got a few after the race. I really would like to hear your thougts on this matter!
