Quito Local Custom Tips by filipdebont

Be careful when you want to make pictures of local people. Some locals do not like to be photographed.

So be polite and friendly, and talk to them first and ask if you can make picture.

Some of these Indian ladies are selling small Indian souvenirs, you can try to buy something and them you get more chance to make a picture.

(In fact Indian is a wrong word, it is better to call them Indigenas)

Remember: you are not walking around in a Zoo. These are also human beings just like you. So show some respect.

Another possibility is using a big zoom lens, and then you have the chance that they do not notice you when you are making the picture from a larger distance.
