Mouldy Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) Chugging up The Ant and spotted a heron fishing at Johnny Crowe’s Staithe. Grabbed my phone, as I didn’t have my camera ready and took a quick photo. Shame about the background!

Meantime Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Think you should have paint shopped the boat reg number out. Name and shame and all that. Double check the Heron hasn't a ring on its leg as well in case it can be Identified. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawsOrca Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Looks a very pretty picture. Well done! Nice to see wildlife living alongside people enjoying the broads in the way they want to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExSurveyor Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Professional photographers always consider the background when deciding on the composition of a shot, is the background more important than the subject ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wish to read the Online Harms Bill in Full. 230 pages long https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3137 the part you need is protecting peoples privacy. This is what we are preparing for on the Forum You may also wish to read the parts about who is liable for the fines if we don't comply.

For clarity, No. The number was requested to be hidden because of the context of the photo, followed by assumptions on if it was tolled or not.

CeePee1952 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I'm confused While I can understand the necessity for legislation to protect individuals from unwanted exposure etc, I cannot understand why general holiday photos/videos that show boats cruising or moored up on the Broads have to be "edited" to disguise their identity? I fully understand the reason behind not showing or giving out details when an accident occurs or other incidents that may warrant privacy, (unless it is already in the public domain where every person and their dog can access it) but if I have read FairTMiddlin's post correctly, then the holiday tales section and other sections will cease to have a purpose as far as photo/video content is concerned. Please be assured I'm not trying to "stir" anything up, I'm just a little confused as to what exactly will be allowed/not allowed from this point onwards.

CambridgeCabby Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 The displaying of boat names/numbers in background photos is dependant on the context in which they are being used . A photo picturing boat(s) including names and numbers in the background doesn’t breach the ToS , the same photo casting negative dispersions on the same boats most certainly does . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExSurveyor Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 From the Terms of service, The NBN does not subscribe to 'naming and shaming'. i.e. pictures or descriptions of accidents where either the boats or people are recognisable. Details and photos of what a crew are wrongly doing or particular issues with a yard should not be reported here. Reports to the concerned authorities are more appropriate. So lets dispel this myth once and for all. Photos of boats, with numbers shown, are not a problem, unless the breach the above. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meantime Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Might I politely suggest that really the title of the thread brings the forum into disrepute as much as the picture, modified or not! Without the current thread title no one would have thought twice about a badly taken picture of a heron. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
