Seems about right for Ireland north and south too. Although common sense probably needs to be used too. I’d be very wary with shots of children regardless of whether its legal or not. Doen’t really effect me as I’m into landacapes and wildlife rather than street, or portraits.
I also had an example where I was taking photos of some trees for Autumn colour, and there was a garage nearby (which I wasn’t including in the shots anyway). Three angry guys came over and demanded to know what I was taking photos for. Legally, I was fine, even if I had been photographing them, and could have told them to clear off, but I would have been legally right and beaten to a pulp, maybe with a broken camera! I suspect they were “doing the double”. It was easier just to explain what I was doing, and show them the shots on the camera. The situation was calmed down and they were fine with it, although I got the impression they thought I was a bit soft in the head going round taking phots of trees.
That’s some progress in 3 years Brendan. You’re right of course that we should always try to improve and learn more, but not much to criticise in those shots. Keep ’em coming!
Excellent series of shots. I find I sometimes comment just to acknowledge great photos – there is now way I could offer critique on a photographer like yourself. I would feel arrogant! Perhaps the site does need a section for images just to be enjoyed. No need for advice on shots like this.
