Sir, could check the red parts in question 3? Those are things that I am not sure about.
Thanks again. |

Sorry to be a pain Mr Micawber, but I think in this case one would say something like:
Can you take a picture with me please? Or am I wrong?
Thank you

You can say that too, of course, or what I suggested.

Please bear with me Mr Micawber, I just want to make sure I understand this correctly.
Say I walk up to a celebrity and ask them if they would take a picture with me because I'd like to have a picture of the two of us together (Something I would never do but never mind that! :)). Is it then fine to say: Could you take our picture?
Thanks again!

Our = you and me
Our = me and this third party here
Context will make clear who is meant.
