There are some great shots here! I'm not a big fan of "candids" where the subject is looking at the camera because it ruins the "fly on the wall" effect for me.
I live in a small town in Wyoming that sees a lot of biker traffic during the summer. There are some amazing characters that just beg to be photographed, but I wasn't sure how to approach it as a newbie. I'm not intimidated by anyone, but I am an introvert and want to avoid getting in people's personal space. I prefer posed images over candid for the subjects I'm trying to capture, but wonder how to approach them.
I thought of offering my flickr address so they can download copies of the image, since most people like good photos of themselves. Or I could carry a notepad and get their e-mail address. Any other thoughts?
