i am rather afraid of it. when i get someone in the shot, i try to approach them and ask if they want copies. or whether they are okay with it.
people are usually fine with it, some of them even want to pose for me, going into portraits.
had a handful of negative responses so far.
with time i think i develop a sense for who enjoys being in the shot and who does not. aside from street performers, that is.
i use 70-200 f2.8 95% of the time. ironically it's great for street photography. despite its bulkiness.
17-55 f2.8 otherwise. this duo obsoleted a bunch of primes i used to carry around.
i sometimes use the nifty fifty for macro photography.
