Here's a question for you photographers- how do you take candid photographs of people, especially people that you don't know. Do you ask for permission? Do you take the photo and then ask permission? Or do you take the photo and never ask permission? Do you know, how do professional photo journalists do that? I am really self-conscious about taking those kind of photos, but they tell such amazing stories... I guess if I had a great zoom, it wouldn't be an issue, but since I don't, yet...
To view all the photos in a slide show format, go to the Picasa web album. And to view other February 2011 Photo Challenge Entries, visit Photo Hunt Challenges.

Nice pictures! I have to admit I love seeing pictures from other countries, the entries from the photohunt that come from other nations are fascinating!
great!
Great job my dear! The one of the mom and the little kid is my favorite.
As for taking pictures of strangers. I do it on the sly. I have only been caught once when I was shooting a picture while stopped at a stop light.
Do what makes you feel comfortable. A blogger friend of mine goes up to strangers and asks permission then she asks if the people will share their story....then she posts it on her blog. She hands out business cards with her blog name so that people can come and see themselves on her blog.
I know a few professional photo journalist that I can ask what they do.
macro and a view from above are my favorites. nice results for the hunt. Kaye—the road goes ever ever on
