Hey guys. This is my first post here. Glad I found this forum that shares the same hobby as me!

I like to spot exotics and upload them to my flickr to show my photography/ post editing skills, as well as my passion for spotting exotics.

In the future I would like to make a photography portfolio where i have a section on cars that I've spotted as well as shoots that I've done. (Both Different Sections on the portfolio) Am I breaking any laws by uploading the spots online? I do not intend to make money whatsoever from the spottings, purely just to share to viewers the exotics i've seen in my area. I live in Australia if anyone cares haha.

Appreciate any responses in advance!

Thanks!

Unless it's a law to blur the plates in Australia or the owner tells you not to then you should be good.

I'm confused about what you are asking.

If I will get into any legal issues by photographing exotics on the street and uploading them to a personal blog/photography portfolio in a section that mentions that these are cars that I've spotted, with no intention of making money from it, just a personal collection.

Uh, I would not think so.

That would make everyone on this website a criminal dude.

thats true, however this is a community forum where people share the images, whereas in my case its a personal portfolio. just wanted to check to be safe before I got into a legal mess

I sometimes blur the plates just to be safe, so you can do that if you are concerned about getting in trouble with owners. I don't think any of us have ever gotten in trouble for our pictures though. (My friend and I did get escorted out of Trump Tower's parking once however XD)

I think being escorted out of that would be fun alone :D

Ive been escorted out of a Ferrari before

Not that I'm aware of. I always cover the license plate for extra security, but I don't think it's a law.

On a side note, I found a site a few months back called "CarPaps.com" There aren't many users on there, and there is a section both for spottings and photoshoots.

Welcome to the site! I am Australian as well, to answer your question you don't have to blur plates. Where are you in Australia, and what are your best spotting places?

Lol i hope ins not against the law, or im screwed to drop the soap

Ive also been escorted out of trump tower...as a silver SLS drove by me up to the next level...i still wonder today what was on the last level of trump

Are you the same person that contacted me on Flickr? :P
