else have thick skin and go up to them, shoot liao, smile at them and quickly walk off...
Imagine after u take a photo of them and they chase you a few streets to ask you delete the photos you taken. LOL
Is there any way, people will not notices you holding a camera?
Eg. Hide Camera under newspaper?
i have nvr been confronted before. i use a various of styles like describe earlier. usually telephoto to get a more distant feel from the subjects and wide angle to get a in your face feel. sometimes i bring my manual camera out and it takes an awful long time to manually focus and sometimes they do shun away. but nvr been confronted before and i will not delete away pics because its a public place. so i can do what i want.
Seems like its still safe to take street candid in singapore huh?
I had an experience in bali. I saw 2 kids, very cute. So I took out my camera and shoot them. They even give me a cute pose. But just after I snap, they ask for $$$, I was really shocked. I just grab wat ever from my pocket and go away before anymore kids come and asking for $$$...
I thk I must start to practise taking shoot from the hip and build my stamina.... hahhaha
oh no. don't do that. that'll increase the chance of you landing up in the hospital :bsmilie:
then, ppl will know u are a serious photographer and not a crook.
in May, i went to shoot the bugis hawker center that is now under renovation. was "confronted" by the informal security guard there,
"wat u shooting? the hawkers ahh?"
i'll just snap and smile after that. either that, or take it behind their backs.

usually i just shoot in front of the people, if they stare at me i just smile back
luckily after these few years, i never need to visit any hospital...
some other times i use my small trusty lc-a and usually the subject will bochap one...
