Please read the message from our President, Tony Oliver, about a petition to the European Parliament concerning the freedom to photograph in public places.
Thanks,
Sue Teagle
SCPF Secretary
Given the short time from before the vote ( 4 days) I suggest that the best course of action would be for us to sign as individuals (if we wish to) and to send the link to club secretaries. Although we would no usually get involved directly with political canvassing, I think that this issue is one of potential importance to us as club photographers.
I was aware of the proposal, although the potential interpretations as I understand them are not quite as severe as the petition suggests (and relate more to commercial use of images than amateur photographers). However this is still an extremely important issue which has passed most of us by.
