It happens... everywhere! not only in Singapore. Matter of fact, in Singapore, people will just knn but saves you from the physical 
To me, before you take that shot, try to put yourself in that person's shoes, and ask yourself whether you would like to be snapped at that particular moment? If you don't like, what makes you think people like?
Sometimes, i am just too concerned to get that shot and forgets about the subject's privacy and feelings which made me felt like a robber later.
If you wanna do street shot, do intro yourself to the subject, your intention and seek their permission even though it's a public place

the only statement i agree with.
funny how pple feel that its their right to do whatever they like
just becos they have a camera with them.
i love to shoot, but not the other way round.
i do believe i'm not the only one.

I was once scolded by a lady at a bazaar in South Africa, Capetown, for taking photograph of her without her permission. It wasn't a nice feeling at all. Since then, I always make it a point to seek permission before shooting. I believe in taking photographs of a person without taking away his/her dignity.
yap, i like to shoot too but not to be shot. maybe will have to rethink the next time i press the button.

well I did shoot a lot of people shot espically kids and have praises on the shot I have took from the parents and very happy to have return the shots to them. :vhappy:
younger people dont mind much too. once i wanted to take a picture of a couple then i noticed the guy was posing. so i just smiled and shot them.
but to me , its the old people and young kids who are most interesting to take
but they (older people ) are the most sensitive and so are parents usually.

you must be tactical, use what the army have teaches you and also use a long telezoom lens so that the parents will not know that you are shooting on there kids......
In the good name of Photography.......Be nice, smart and courteous.....Let's have some :heart: everyone

i shoot without looking through the viewfinder.
inspired by Joe Wigfall.
he said " learn how to see through your camera"
My camera is my eye when i take streets.
The advantage is, people around you would be very oblivious.
just hang ur camera along your neck or hold ur camera at waistline or any comfortable place and shoot lah.
heh.
disadvantage.
u dont know whats ur after product will be like.

I brought my japanese friend to chinatown 2 weeks ago.
We both took photos, and were not walking together. A lot of the shopowners saw me and gave me the 'begone vampire' gesture.
She was some distance behind me, and I saw a lot of shopowners inviting her into their shop, while she was snapping away.

While reading this thread I thought of the idea of mounting a laser-sight to the camera hot-shoe. That way, the camera can be aimed without looking through the VF. The problem is that everyone in the area will see the red-dot too. LOL :bsmilie:

You must behave like a tourist and mouth a few jap phrases and say " I love Singaporu "!

This is not only true of streets shots, many shopping malls etc also are more lax with tourists while not allowing locals to shoot. Many threads already on this.
