Do you mind taking stranger's photos when on vacations?

I noticed I was asked a lot this summer and also random strangers would offer to take ours too.

Of course I don’t mind!

I don't mind at all. I think it feels nice.

I'm decent at taking pics so I'm pretty picky. 95% of the time I'm happier with selfies than I am with the pics others take.

I love it, I offer if they seem to have 1 person out of the picture.

Reminds me of the free camera scam in the Chevy Chase movie European Vacation.

Same here. I'll also offer if something special/cute happens. I did it at the last Nats game I went to. A young kid near us caught a foul ball. Everyone was high 5ing and cheering and I asked if they wanted a picture.

Definitely don't mind and will have offer if I see people struggling with a selfie.

I do not mind doing this when I'm not on vacation, assuming I'm not in a hurry or occupied with something else.

Me too! I love it when people offer and I offer if it seem like the group wants a photo together. It is part of the adventure of traveling and meeting random people for a blip in time.

I'm a professional photographer and actually offer to take strangers' photos if it looks like they're struggling with a selfie. I kind of love secretly knowing they'll find at one amazing vacation portrait in their roll.

It can get annoying after awhile. But typically it is fine.

Most aren't using a film camera to take selfies.

Do you change settings? Or is it more about composition?
