So far... no... But keep an open mind, if people feel uncomfortable or rejected you shooting at them, just smile, delete their pic and walk away.
It is challenging to take people you don't know. If they tell you nicely, you can simply delete it in today's digital technology. Show him/her if he/she still not satisfied.
Those that turn aggressive are difficult to deal. A tele lens would be handy. I generally avoid direct shoot.

TS, I never get rejected. Because I'm too shy to ask for permission. If you do get to come across people who ask you to delete. Just delete. Although, ***by right, the photos, once taken, are already our property***, I don't think it's worth the risk getting into something nasty. Learn the art of ninjutsu. That's your best weapon.

Well..thats why the 70-200 F2.8 can become very handy here. If they ask you to delete.. just do it lo..if not things can get ugly.
it sure take some courage to shoot people you dontknow.

hmm i said can be very handy. but u dont need that to shoot. Just be careful. because u wont know if that somebody you shooting can become aggressive ornot. Good luck !ah....i only have a 45mm and 17mm...
Just go shoot, when they look at you just smile. So far everyone had been friendly when I smile at them. I shoot with an 11-16

I like the way you make it explicitly clear. :bsmilie:
i use my 70-300mm USM with IS and flip out the LCD to use liveview and shoot from my hip to take pics of unsuspecting subjects...

Full-bodied character - makes you wonder where he's been and done.
