Re: [All countries ] Street shooting and Image use (legal/rights) influence

It's a bit higher threshold for the shooter. Taking a photograph of a legislator being a fool is easier on the photographer than filling one full of lead, no matter how richly deserved. On 11/29/2011 4:22 PM, Paul Sorenson wrote: Although I haven't heard *too* much about restrictions here in

Re: [All countries ] Street shooting and Image use (legal/rights) influence

Although I haven't heard *too* much about restrictions here in Wisconsin, I have a tendency to agree with John...There are a lot of people who think they know the law and bellow about restricting where you can take pictures and who you can photograph. One thing I find ludicrous, though, is thi

I imagine there are those who comment largely to allay the poster's possibly experiencing self doubt as a result of the image receiving few if any responses. They may feel innocuous to be preferable to dismissal.   Jack - Original Message - From: Daniel J. Matyola To: Pentax-Discuss Mai

Re: Behind the green window.

I like the composition, and you have certainly portrayed the subject as well as you could. That being said, I don't find any beauty in this particular ally, and therefore the subject leaves me cold. It doesn't have the zing of your Triple X or Forever Locked, for example. Just one man's opinion.

Re: [All countries ] Street shooting and Image use (legal/rights) influence

Street photography has been controversial in the USA since Robert Frank published "The Americans" in the late 1950s. It has ridden a roller coaster of acceptability and legal permissions/legal challenges on the basis of invasion of privacy, national security, popular opinion, etc etc ever since. Th
