Taking Photos

carob03867 · Oct 2nd, 2009, 23:29

When I was in Nepal I took a picture of a girl in the distance, the old lady with her got very upset. I always ask now. When taking pictures in India, do you offer to pay, can you take one without asking if you are in the distance, what should one pay? Any advice on this matter, will be helpful.
Thank you all, this is a great site

The question gets asked quite a lot. Apart from this site's search engine (found at top right of most pages), most any thread will feature a listing of "similar threads" at bottom of page, just like this one does, just scroll down for it; this can be a handy way to quickly search on on a given theme. Opening those, they'll feature such a listing at bottom again, etc.

More generally, try to look also for the question in this site's Photography (sub-) forum.

A thread where I left some of my own thoughts on it: Cultural Do's and Don'ts of everyday scenes ? Just for instance, there are quite a number of rather more developed photographers on this board.
