It is stressful, and in the heat of the moment when my finger hovers over the shutter button I sometimes look up feeling guilty that I can capture this moment without anyone knowing, or fearing that someone will know and react negatively. I do have a positive story about this though and I summarised it in a comment on the DPS post above. Last Christmas <a href="http://inphotos.org/wet-day-shopping/#comment-29275" rel="nofollow">Gary</a> found a <a href='http://inphotos.org/wet-day-shopping/' rel="nofollow">photo</a> I took of his parents. He was on his way back from the UK and was browsing the net looking for a gift for them. I sent him an email and offered him the original jpeg file so he could make a decent print of it. I presume they liked it because I haven't heard anything back from Gary! I sort of remember the day I took that photo. I was shooting with a reasonably wide 18mm (really 24mm or so with the 1.6 crop factor) and was almost standing right in front of them. It was touch or go as to whether I'd make the shot or not. I'm glad I hit the shutter button and captured them in a relaxed and natural pose. Thanks for sharing that.

It is quite tiring to work out if posting photos of people is going to cause stress if they should find a photo posted on the Net. I had a very interesting debate in a chat room about this subject last year. Street photography should be full of passers-by and lively human interest. However, I tend to try to take photos of buildings which do not include the human form. It can create a rather strange sense of emptyness. Very much enjoy your blog. Thank you.
