Hey TS, i'm a newbie with one stupid question. Don't people stop you or some sort when you take pics? I'm afraid to have some bulky guy coming over about me taking shots, especially on the streets? :dunno:

Hi. Not stupid at all. Happened to me once. A bulky guy kicked my foot when I took a photo of him inside the MRT. I used a 10mm lens so I understand his aggression.:bsmilie:

You can always use a telephoto (100-150mm) if you're not comfortable yet, and be prepared to delete your shots when you sense an encounter about to brew. Another trick I do is acting my way out of a situation. I just pretend to be a dumb tourist pointing the camera everywhere but all the while just getting one true shot of my subject. It works.

I like "Oozing Machismo" a lot. Kind of partial to high contrast shots like that. Sashay and Yogging was shot pretty low down. Were you squatting on the floor?

Hmmm... Nope. It hasn't happened yet and I don't think it will. But if it does, I'll simply just stop.
