A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

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?

I get what you're saying, I bought my first camera last week and the other day I was trying to take some photos of car/motorbikes on a road close to my house. I see a motorbike coming so I shot a series of photo and as I'm scrolling too I could see the guy looked at me and sure as hell 30 sec later he comes back and ask me what I was doing (he seemed pretty bothered by it) so I showed him the pictures and said that I was new to cameras and I was trying it out, he still wasn't happy with it but he went his own way, not sure what he was hiding.
