It isn't a question of rudeness but the quality of feeling shy on the part of the picture taker. A good photographer must overcome this feeling of self-consciousness and just wade out there and do it! Smile agreeably, nod your head idiotically, and then move on.

Excuise me ?  Isn't a 24 going to force me to
hold the lens about 20 centimeters from the
photographee's nose ?  That won't stop me from
feeling like I'm intimidating people, right ?
