when doign street photography, I carry dollar bills in an easily accessable
pocket. The presentation of one of those sometimes decreases resistance to
being photographed. Some folks carry model releases with them.
With small children, I always ask the parent for permission and have rarely
been refused. I make a point of emailing a JPEG and aksing if they want one.
On occasion I have used my 300 to photograph people. Also, I try not to take
shots that could identify the person being photographed.
There are lots of rules and a lot of conventions. I try to use commons sense
and civility.
