Train spotting

Thinking of becoming a train spotter and then progressing from there to plane spotter as I build some fast focusing skills with the help of you forum members

So thought best to start with the smaller ones still

C&C greatly welcome as usual .

By the way I blurred couple of faces, I never know if I can get into trouble by uploading faces from strangers although this is an open public ride, but just in case I am not stepping into something that could put me into some legal problems I blurred them anyway.

Very good Amin, where was it?

Thanks Cliff

Its the Eastcote miniature railway, Roxbourne Park

My understanding is that if you are in a public place (which can be private property) where you can reasonably expect photographs to be taken then there's not a problem. That is unless you are deliberately trying to denigrate or misrepresent that person and even then I think they'd struggle to succeed in what would be a civil action.

I know you've had a little trouble in the past but this sort of behaviour simply feeds the prejudice against photographs - not that I'm being personal in this as it's becoming more common. Street photography as a genre would be dead at a stroke otherwise.

Public place = no privacy.

On balance we can all expect to be treated with respect.

Then again I am not legally expert and so I may have it all wrong - but I doubt it!

This may be of interest LINK.

Thanks for an interesting link but with respect not entirely relevant. However, what a very practical approach laden with common sense. They even accept that tripods might be used.

Nice pictures. A shame to blur them out as these pics are not for corporate/commercial use.

As explained earlier, this is my first upload with images where strangers appear in my shots and I didn't know if I would be stepping into a cobweb of trouble so I attempted to minimise it by blurring slightly the faces of other people in the image.

I get it now that there shouldn't be any problems in taking and uploading shots of general public here, a few of members have cleared that out for me, so I hope this doesn't turn into a debate about this. This wasn't my intention at all.

Thank you again

OK... forget it!

No need to be over sensitive over my comment. All I did was just explain my ignorance in the matter, and in case you missed it I did also thank you.

Don't know why suddenly your comment above. I wasn't criticising you for advising me, more so just stating that I had already got the idea and wanted to avoid originating a debate on this as we all know how an issue such as this instantly blows out into a big discussion. We have had a few around here focused on this subject so just wanted to avoid it, again

I understand your reasons, but i think you have gone over the top with the guy in picture 2

OK, sorry Amin... perhaps I'm a bit overtired

You can never be sure enough nowadays, you never know, its always better to make completely sure and fumigate the face completely

Will, no worries , I didn't take it wrongly, just didn't want you to think I was annoyed by your helpful comment . You were being kind enough to point me the issue and even I too think I have ruined that shot by blurring it. But I did that only for the upload here, the original one is still intact.

I might as well uplaod the other ones too then and I have replaced the blurred one above too

Excellent photographs Amin, good definition - well captured
