~People~ A silhouette taken by Graham of me wearing my favourite Akubra at sunset. We have a few laws where we live in Gosford
restricting the use of cameras. In fact in lots of places. A friend said she was not allowed to take a photo of her daughter
swimming at the local pool. Thanks for looking. ~Pat and Graham

  What a superbly silhouetted profile portrait capture here, Graham...and you posed just perfectly for him, too, Pat!! ;o) Very nicely done!! :o)

As regards being able to take photographs in public these days I think a lot of times it's just plain bureaucracy gone mad!! :o(

Phil usually plows ahead...and reckons that it's easier to ask forgiveness than to ask permission!! What do you reckon, Pat?!! ;o)

  LOL Carolyn, I just got a fine for $197. Bureacracy gone mad! It's easier to plow ahead and like Phil ask forgiviness than permission.

I reckon the same as you Carolyn. Graham is constantly telling me there is a 'do not enter' sign which is like a red flag to a bull. Bureacracy gone mad!

  Wow! I am in shock that you have such restricted freedoms. It helps for RAG MAGS staying away from the movie stars, I guess, but gee whiz!

Love this image of you Big Sis! Graham did a great job and so did you!

Hey! You should tell Graham in lieu of you giving him a "fine", for taking your picture, he can take you to a nice dinner! HA! (WORK IT GIRL!!! Hee hee)...

The laws over here are shocking because we have no Bill of Rights, as Carolyn said "Beurocracy gone mad".
Being sighted with a camera around a children's Playground you may be seen as a Peeping Tom a being there for an indecent purpose’ NSW Photographers Rights written by a photographer and qualified solicitor and is an interesting read.
I do think people have gone overboard about it, it is a lot of hoo haa myself, folk thinking they have laws for this and laws for that and now
everyone thinks they have.
.I went into a supermarket last week with my camera and took a photo of a
slot machine inside an arcade and nobody did a thing, not even the Guard. href="http://www.overclockers.com.au/wiki/Photographing_in_a_Public_Place">Photographing in a Public Place I must admit I was quaking a bit.
Graham went to take my photo outside a supermarket a couple of months ago, we were standing in the street but even so the Guard or the superviser or whoever ran out and very aggressively told him to put his camera away. I asked why and he said 'we have just been burgled". Treated like would be assassins LOL. ~Pat

  That does sound like a silly law to me & agree that it is a bit overboard. I can understand protecting children from perverts, but parents taking pix of their children on a playground? That's a bit too far!

Now about the photo...lovely silhouette & the bg is awesome! Definitely a winner!
