Photo shooting

By zxcv

Hello,

I am a Chinese guy who loves street photography THAT much. I will be in Doha for a few days attending a conference. Would you please tell me what should I pay attention to if I want to do some snap shots on the street? I don't want to annoy people if they feel uncomfortable about that... Thanks a lot!

BTW I really want to see the real life of people in Doha, where should I go?

Hi guys,

Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I will be careful when taking pics of women... Should I ask permission from the people before taking pics of them(especially women)? I really don't want to be rude or sth...

Go to Applebees and Chillies...

That's the only place Iever see Qataries...

They like to eat...

And the robes are a plus to hide that non beer belly...:)

I love Qatar..

You can't teach experience...

well i think you should be very careful while taking photographs, as i am also very interested in this hobby. but i felt annoyed when local people looked at me with inclined eyes when i was taking pictures of the most beautiful place of qatar called the Cornice. i dont know what they feel , so i advise you to be very careful ,specially of women
