I used to share your reluctance to take shots of people I met on walks even though their inclusion could on occasions, by waiting for just the right time, improve a landscape by leading the eye into the frame. Some people can get snotty if they are filmed but they obviously never look up when they are in town. If they did they would see cameras on many a lamppost filming their every move, so that ship has sailed. My wild imagination used to give me genuine concern that a couple wandering secluded footpaths might be a man and his next door neighbors' wife, which would understandably trigger an aggressive response. Who by the way ruins a peaceful soul soothing trip through lovely countryside by doing it on a quad bike? Thanks for posting.

Yes the aggressive response or even a grumpy comment is what I don't want, i always seem to be on guard or defensive when someone questions what I'm upto, not just on walks but in everyday life, and i can come across as maybe standoffish, that's down to me always expecting people to give me trouble...... but this can also sometimes be me getting it completely wrong, I did a walk last week where I came through an alleyway and suddenly a dog at a garden gate started yapping at me so I filmed it, but after a couple of seconds a lady appeared and asked me why I was filming her dog, and me being me answered her a little bluntly with a defensive tone in my voice, and I would say i didn't sound too friendly, and I really felt bad soon after cause the lady was really nice and friendly, I felt terrible inside, but as soon as i realised she was being polite the tone of my voice changed and I was genuinely pleased to talk to her .... I guess that i always expect the worst from people, I'm normally right, I find😂 . But on occasion people surprise you, so I'm trying to be more positive on that front

Totally understand what you mean about not filming people - not that I never done much filming meself out walking and such. Nice to hear you being a gentleman and don´t "stick a camera in peoples face". But, if you see some cute japanese, please do film 😍.
