How come I can't think of it, such a genius!<BR/><BR/>actually, most of the time, I love the products and the decor inside a store. but if I ask for a picture, they'll think I am a commercial spy :( <BR/><BR/>hehe, I guess common sense really dictates how this art of picture snapping should be carried out. and practise makes perfect, right? I hope one day I can do it like you and LL, quick and focus :)<BR/><BR/>thanks ... jaimejaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058450830297300866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606802595543717041.post-48745802757696546642008-02-15T12:51:00.000-05:002008-02-15T12:51:00.000-05:00hee... how i manage to take pics? well, it depend...hee... how i manage to take pics? well, it depends on the situation and the place. usually if i'm alone, i just ask (beg?) for permission nicely, and they usually say 'ok'. <BR/><BR/>and flattery can get you almost anywhere... just comment on how nice the decor is and what great taste the owner has or whatever nice things you can think of, and then ask for permission to take a few pics. promise to be real quick and discreet... usually they will say 'yes' :p<BR/><BR/>and if i'm in a group, i just click quickly. hehe, i'm not a pro, so i don't know much about forming a story with my photo or picking the right angle or lighting or whatever, so i tend to be really quick. most of the time, i just raise my camera and snap, all single-handedly. and of course, i shut off the shutter sound, so everything's done quietly. <BR/><BR/>hee, in fact, i'm terribly lazy. most of the times, if i can help it, i won't even move from wherever i am. even if i know there's a better angle from, say, five steps away or across the street, but if i can still get the whole thing in wherever i happen to be standing or sitting, i don't move an inch and just take. this also means i tend to be quite unobtrusive and can take my pics fairly quickly. (of course, exceptions are made when it's a famous, famous landmark or so beautiful a scenery... then it's worth the while to walk to the best possible spot to take the picture... otherwise, lazy me just takes over...)<BR/><BR/>actually, when you're a tourist, (or pretending to be a tourist), you can get away with alot of things :p<BR/><BR/>another trick... if, say, you want to take a picture of a shop or restaurant, just get a friend to go stand at one side of the establishment, then you take the picture without your friend inside at all. i've done this countless times when i need to take pics of a competitor's shop :pbbmaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01473549423120731444noreply@blogger.com
