Martial -

Your English is much better than my French or Spanish would be.

When I was in the Yucatan, I met some engineers who were working on a project in a small town. I went with them for a day to take pictures. They asked their 16 year old driver to show me around.  He introduced me to a lot of the people and they didn't mind my photographing them.

In Guatemala, we had a guide to some of the towns and he told the people it was OK. there I did pay small amounts to the people. Also, my Spanish was fluent then, and that helped.  Many of the pictures of city scenes were taken with a long lens. If anyone objected, I stopped.

I do have a funny story. When I lived in New York City, I used to go to Central Park to take pictures. I was in my twenties, then. One day I was taking pictures and some people thought it was of them. It was of something else and I tried to tell them that, but they would not listen. They threatened me and I had to climb a tree to protect my camera.

I'm glad you like the written tutorials. I plan to write more. Happy Holidays.
