There is a discussion on this going on over on another forum and I thought it would be interesting to hear your views on the matter.
After a member posted some candid photographs over on another forum, the issue of legality and morality when taking candid pictures involving children kept raising it's head. The images were taken in a park and the parents were with the children in the images.
What are your views on the subject? Would you be comfortable taking candid pictures which involved children in a public park for example? If so why and if not, why not?
Are there any specific legal issues or grey areas which may affect photographers? Does the law differ in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland?
