RE: Street Photography – Girl in a Swirl. A young girl in a swirl of traffic – New Delhi, India

..looking at the photo,I was immediately drawn into the girl's eyes,she looks into your camera sir @majes.tytyty and I felt shes staring at me!(kinda weird 😮)
..good for you sir you can take photo of people on the street unlike me I find it hard to take a shot because i feel they might get irritated.

She's looking at us all!

As for taking photos of people out in public, I try not to intrude on people's space or offend them. Usually, if I get too close to them, I'll ask if I can take their photo, and most people comply.

that's a nice tip. I also get worried that they'll get mad at me. But I hate having to ask for permission, because then they pose for you. To me, the greatest beauty is in the candid ones like these.

Another trick is to make it appear as though you are focusing your camera on something beside them. Just point the camera about 10-20 degrees away from them, and look in that direction. @carine1988

Then, just before you click the shutter, move the camera back to the people. Often, they will take little notice.

(This may be a bit sly, but as long as we don't harm those people [or steal their souls with our camera], I believe it's not so bad.)

..interesting idea sir @majes.tytyty!
..stolen shots are great photos because its all natural.
...at times people in our place loved to be photographed by foreigners but gives an intimidating look with locals taking their photos!😊
