Is it OK for a tourist to go up to a shinto temple, put money in the money box, ring the bell, do two bows, two claps and a bow or is it seemed as weird by locals (I’m obv not of Shinto religion).

Also, I saw a couple online that made a picture with them standing in the middle of a Tori gate. They got blasted for it. Is it rude to make pictures of the Tori gate or just with you on it? How can I make pictures in a respectful manner (if possible at all)? Can I make pictures of the shinto temple?
