    Positive: Interesting photo, no major technical issues I can spot.

    Negatives to be aware of:

    1. It seems likely at least one person in that photo would be extremely upset if a photo of them was posted on the Internet. And with rampant AI, this image may well get tagged by face recognition software somewhere.

    2. You were waving either a decent phone or camera around in front of strangers, close to you, at night - I hope you were taking significant precautions against it being snatched

      On 1. ironically, or in some sort act of negative karma, this Sunday I was loudly abused by a lady accusing me of having taken many photos of her, and “Stop or or I’ll go to the police” - made particularly weird by the fact I deliberately avoid taking photos of people or their dogs when out doing nature photography.

      I actually pre-emptively contacted the police myself, just in case any report was made and for some reason the police took it seriously.

      1. Does that happen to you often? I live in Montréal, a place thag looks a lot like this, and small women can walk alone at night even in quieter places without much worry. I don’t think this person’s camera was in that much danger of being snatched in a busy area like this.

      1. Yeah i thought about that a lot, still dont have a solution for it :/

      2. Had the camera on a strap and i wasnt alone, i probably would not attempt such pics out alone.
