I am a quite shy person ad often, when i find an interesting composition-subject (like a person doing something, a goup of people in a nice setting etc), i struggle to capture it because i feel like i’m being rude taking pictures without their approval, but at the same time i think that, by asking them, the spontaneity of the shot would be compromised. What’s your take about it?
Just take the photo and wait for result) In my experience, most people don’t care about your camera. Of course there would be people that would complain about that, but it’s a rare case.
Just do some things that you shy about and soon you’ll get confidence.
