Not if you're doing it properly. If you do it right, the subject doesn't even notice you, and the people who do notice you have no idea what you're actually taking a photo of. You can catch all kinds of interesting moments. For example the girl here is reacting to a joke her boyfriend cracked while they were watching a Michael Jackson-impersonating busker.
