Random Photo Thread (not Bikes)

Loo with a view....

 

Another view....

 

That’s a brilliant idea Andy, some pics you don’t need to know the situation of and are truly self explanatory of art. Yours is one Good start

 

Brill Steve, it just ‘falls’ right

 

@Bikerman those first three of yours do it for me. They tell a factual story that’s full of detail.
@learningtofly nice black and white always work

 

Silly question - do you get permission to photograph as GDPR laws class that as a breach. Just asking

 

Bad Bertrich, Germany a few of years ago.

 

Three random cars taken in Greenwich.

 

Some I got away with

 

And some from me.....

Sometimes timing makes a good shot

My question was a serious one that was answered in a way I can understand. As an engineer - often required to photograph issues - I know some of the GDPR rules. Don't understand the disagree remark to a genuine question. Keep clicking away - I like this thread...

 

Street photography is an interesting topic and something I've not tried much. Must look out for a few more opportunities. Don't fancy the idea of confrontation so I'll have to be subtle - it may be legal but ethically there is a line that should not be crossed. No worries with permission here as the "troll" under the bridge in this shot is my dad.

Apologies for that lazy way of responding (which I've now removed). There are generally no restrictions in terms of shooting from a public space, though, and you don't need model release forms to do so. There are some constraints when it comes to recognisable individuals and also in terms of commercial use of the photographs, though.

Here's one summary, although there are many others available...

I take lots of street photography too, and have pretty much the same approach. Occasionally I'll engage with someone after I've taken a shot, but rarely beforehand. I generally like street photography to be candid.
