I know its legal, but what is the general feeling about it? In terms of intrusion, privacy etc
I was in Stephens Green earlier, taking random photos of people, the swans, everything - it was a great day for photos, with the sunshine and all. A tourist came up to me and asked if I had taken a picture of his girlfriend. I had no idea whether I had or not, so I showed him the recent shots, and sure enough, she was in one of them (along with a bunch of other people). I offered to delete it and they seemed happy enough - the girl said, "yes that would be best". And that was fine.
But afterwards I felt like I had been doing something wrong, inappropriate or even weirdo-ish. I just happen to like photos of unposing strangers - I know where to draw the line (I think) and would never take pictures of babies/ kids/ people being intimate etc. I also usually take them from a distance, so don't have a camera pointed in someones face, and crop them later. Now I don't know! Maybe I should call it a day.
