I just realised I may be contravening forum or other rules by posting pics without the the subjects permission. I didn't see anything in the guidelines.

Is there a policy?? Given I'm all enthused with my new camera and my favourite sport I'll be taking lot's of snaps.

If anyone has an objection to being photographed please let me know......if you're on the forum that is.

typically,

you don't need permission unless you are using the images for commercial purposes.

i generally ask though to be polite and always ask if it kids in the photos.

also local council regulations may be relevant. ie. you can't take photos of the sydney harbour shoreline. (apparently)

that's the short of it. probably more than you need to know. I recently dug up the regulations due to some images we were putting together at work for a billboard.

Yeap, for adults you are fine as Justin said.

However, for a person under 18 years of age, you need to get consent from the parent and student approval if want to take photographs of them.

You legally have to get an additional approval form if you are going to put them online, and stating where you are putting them, what use they will be, and also what risk there is for other people to access them (I.e. private website vs. public one).

A portion of my letter to parents is the following. The first for photographs, the second for online approval:


I, ______________________, do hereby allow photographs, video, audio and work samples of __________________________, to be taken for the purpose of constructing a folio for Elizabeth ****. I understand that all information collected will be kept strictly confidential, and only used for the construction of Elizabeth ****’s folio and interview with Education Queensland and/or Independent Schooling Association. I understand that all recording and samples taken will be securely destroyed after 12 months.

Hi Liz,

i don't believe there is any difference between people under 18 or over 18 as far as legal responsibilities go for "street photography".

for a school you would need to get permission from the school principle as it is private property and private property will see this required.

here is the gov info that suggests further steps as per liz's post. they are not required though.

i reckon don't post anything you wouldn't post of yourself though that might not be the greatest guide to follow

Thanks. It is a great spot because the wind is quite clean, very little obstruction coming over the runway, usually 5-10kts windier then other spots. The noise depends on the direction they're taking off, most of the time they seem to be taxiing there. To be honest I cant remember hearing much when I'm near the runway as I'm either concentrating on a gybe or bearing away for the speed run parallel to the runway...so a little distracted.
