I wonder if you guys take pictures whenever you go out with anyone or alone? One time, i went out with my friends, when I said that I want to take pictures, they don't budge nor flinch... Seems like they don't like to take pictures...Is it normal? What about you? I really like to take pictures for keeping memories, you know I haven't collected them for many years.. Since I don't have much pictures during younger days. Let me know what you think. thanks!

With my children, if I try to take a posed picture, I usually don't get cooperation. I just quietly pull out the camera and take the pictures. I prefer the pictures of them having fun. Those pictures mean more to me, they show the emotion and capture the moment better than a staged picture.

Yes, that's right...it is like a snapshot. I love taking pictures by surprise. It is like capturing what one's doing. Though it is hard to shoot pictures in good angle. Isn't it? But how will you know if someone don't like to take pictures? DO you know any tips?

Are they people you know that you are taking pictures of? Just ask them, and if they don't mind then thats all you have to do. Strangers are another story, I have taken some great shots of the general public but I don't know if I could publish them since I never got permission from them.

Really? I don't know that we need to ask permission from others especially strangers. I tried that. I want to take shoots of landscapes but in our city, we dont have landscapes area.

Yes,I like taking pictures on some special moments, such like travelling, graduation, birthday and so on. I also like to show the pictures to my friends. I think the pictures can make the memory much more vivid. Have a nice day!
