Just curious but what do you do when you want to take a picture of a stranger? Do you ask them first or do you just take it. Ive been wondering this.

I just take it, asking would ruin the candid moment because the people would then know they're being photographed.

That is true! But do people usually care if you are taking their picture?

People have a variety of reactions. A few people actually stare at me the entire time i'm shooting them and then give me a thumbs up, other people deliberately avoid the gaze of my lens if they notice me, that is, if I get noticed. In these last few none of these people knew I was taking their photo, except for the man with the jacket and that's only because I talked to him for a few minutes.
