- Photos OK to edit
Yeh, fair comment. People in different parts of the world react differently to the camera. I've been in lots of situations where taking photos can get you in trouble and the click certainly doesn't help metters - very often people just want to make some money out of you and if there's ten of them and one of you it can be an expensive photo.Where are you taking pictures that it "gets you in trouble"?
Then there's situations where the authorities might not want you to take a photo, police and border checkpoints in countrys with questionable governments etc - not that I would go about always taking photos of checkpoints but they are places that interesting situations develop.
In slums is another.
Very often I find the most interesting photos are ones that took a combination of stealth and a brass neck - but that is of course just a personal preference.
yup was going to recommend a Leica myself, haven't got one, or used one but they're practically silent.. and i think you use film anyway?
yeh, i tend to use film in these kind of situations. I think my ideal camera would be a film leica with a tilt screen - impossible I think
