What is the law about photographing people?

[DaFoot 10]

Never ceases to amaze me how many people still seem to believe photography will steal their soul.

To get back on track: I have found the best way to photograph people surreptitiously is with a good zoom and a flip-out screen. Lay the camera on a table or your lap and snap away using the screen to frame - even better if you have a remote shutter release. Quite a high failure rate but memory space is cheap. I always feel guilty taking photo's of possibly mentally-ill street folk by any technique other than directly asking first and so rarely do this.
