Photograph question

May 23, 2015 05:01AM
Hi I am a new shopper (just did my first today). I happen to notice a posting on Itelli-Shop for a comic book store right by my home. Small fee and a reimbursement but I am just getting started and several family members are into comic books and would happily take the items I need to purchase off my hands. In the listing it mentioned that I would need to take photos of both the exterior and interior of the store.

So my question is this - are there any tips on discreetly taking photos in a store? It is a pretty small store with not a lot of foot traffic to keep an employee from noticing me.

Easy; turn off both the flash and the audible that accompanies "clicking" the button.

Poor customer service? Don't get mad; get video.

In an age of selfies and picture taking of everything, there is no problem taking pictures of an up coming "new comic " feature. Snap away. I would assign the shop but $15 is to steep for a comic book, I may not be able to get rid ofgrinning smiley

I have an iPhone 6 plus that sticks up over my shirt pocket and a Bluetooth wireless remote control shutter release that I keep in my pants pocket. They sell for $2.44 on Amazon. As said earlier, turn off the flash and put your phone on silent mode to prevent the shutter clicking sound.

Thanks for the tips. I have the shop tomorrow so we'll see how it goes.
