Re: Could I get thumped for taking pictures.

I prefer to take pictures of people in their natural state(unposed).....and sometimes I will snap a person and show them the picture then ask them if they mind me keeping it.
Only one lady has objected and I deleted the image in front of her.
I did take a picture of a lady briskly walking along the esplanade at Llandudno....I tried to show her the picture, but she was either deaf or thought I was a mad woman stalking her(I was a bit windblown)...she didn't respond to my loud 'excuse me's' and her walking pace was so brisk I couldn't catch up to her...in the end I gave up.

Some people are quite delighted(or they give that impression) with my pics of them.
A couple of elderly ladies on the seafront at Sandown asked for a copy of the picture I had taken. They didn't understand that I couldn't just print off the picture for them there and then - but I did get a grandson's e-mail address and e-mail it to him......he told me that he had printed a copy off for both of them and they were really pleased with a souvenir of their holiday. Maybe I could go into business.
