    Arts Freedom Australia

    I came across a story on CNET..

    Aussie photographers rally for rights - Pulse

    I have been aware of this issue for a while as well but now it seems finally there is public action happening.

    There is also this site...

    Arts Freedom Australia

    We have an election happening soon and we should put this issue in front of our local members and those aspiring to be our local members.

    What about my freedom?? or are the camera geeks so limited in there views that i have to surrender my freedom of privacy ( of person and property) because you want the freedom to click away an any thing you wish and publish it?

    Rather a one sided and childish attitude by the camera geeks to say the least. Big brother wouldn’t have to get involved if you guys acted with some morals, decency, and basic humanity!

    Imagine if you will a law that would prevent you from expressing your views in the way you have here.

    You are entitled to your views and I think no less of you for expressing them.

    But how unhappy would you be be if the law said you couldn't be an ass on a forum?

    Would you be unhappy and demand the return of the rights you once had?

    Do you think there will be any images of the rally?

    I used to work for NSWHealth on a primary health outreach service in Kings Cross Sydney. The working girls were understandably angry when photographers took their image to use for whatever purpose without ever asking the woman for her permission.

    Right or wrong and like it or not, these women get paid for the use of their bodies and taking a photograph of them is actually stealing from them.

    No I won't be joining in the rally, photographers and cameramen take far too many liberties already. Just look a Google Street View!

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Didn't think this is about photographing people but landscapes, being able to take a photo of something of natural beauty (err..Ayres Rock) without getting into trouble.

    It's about the able bodied going into a National Park take a few photos so the people of this country who have been locked out of these places (ill health, old age...) can view the natural beauty through that image.

    If i was banned from taking photos or had to pay a fee, the elderly members of my family and their elderly friends will be the poorer for it. just the other weekend friends of my in-laws (in their 80's with serious illness) expressed some happy emotions in viewing an image I took which was published in a calendar for 2010. Now they have no way of visiting the site of the photo, how else can they feel great in times of pain. these people were stoked to talk to the person that took the photo and listen to the story of how it came about.

    I'm an amateur of photography, I'm far from being a 'CAMERA GEEK' and I'm defiantly not a criminal because I like to take a photo.

    i would dread asuch a law here, but we are not talking about such a law and to do so is distorting the facts as well as scarmongering, to do that sort of makes you a low life, like a polition

    What are you going on about?? This thread is about a bunch of camera geeks over steeping the line, disrespecting the privacy of others and as a result a law has been formed.
    WHAT has that got to do with freedom of speech??

    and you think im an Ass?? i think thats where your head is

    But professional photographers get paid for their images and their books, why shouldn't the raw materials for those images (the landscape) also be paid for?
