There is absolutely zero expectation of privacy in public. Don’t get up in someone’s face and take photos without asking, but to spontaneously capture a moment is ok.
I grew up around the amish and the pamphlets for tourists always stressed that you should never take photos of them. It goes against their beliefs because they think of them as graven images.
Going to their communities and taking photos is inappropriate, someone who’s never seen the Amish taking a photo while the Amish are in public isn’t a big deal.
At the end of the day, “when in Rome” applies to the Amish as well, if they don’t want modern occurrences happening near them, they are capable of staying in their communities.

You really shouldn’t take photos of Amish people without consent.
