Any photography tips on developing confidence to take shots of public areas?

Question by blackmisheru: Any photography tips on developing confidence to take shots of public areas?
I’ve recently taken up a photography course and I’ve found that taking action shots of public areas can be a real pain. I’m usually stopped by police saying professional photography is prohibited. I also find that approaching people and asking them if they’re willing to pose for a shot is equally as frustrating and can be embarrassing. Any tips on overcoming this?

If the police stop you and say no professional photography, tell him that your not a professional. Im just a student doing a class project. I think its kind a weird asking stranger to pose for you.. Why don’t you bring your friends along and ask them to pose for you.
