Q: Concerning Photography….?
Hey everyone.

I enjoy taking pictures of things that I’m interested in, like nature, landscapes, etc.
One of the things I like the most is cars. When I see a car that I like, I’m tempted to take a picture to show my friends via Facebook or E-Mail. (I have a little group of friends who all love Ford vehicles, so I enjoy trying to take pictures for them).
By taking a picture of a car, in this case, a 2011 F-250 King Ranch Diesel, is it illegal to post it to my Facebook account? If so, how heavily is this enforced otherwise? When I do take pictures of vehicles, I take precautions and make sure to white or black out the liscense plate number.

Could someone please help me? Thanks in advance.
1. Do I want the liscense plate in the picture?

2. What if the car is just in a parking lot?

A: I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong. If you’re standing in a public place such as a sidewalk, you can photograph whatever you can see, including cars in a parking lot. Obscuring the license plate is probably a good idea because it protects their privacy. But as a practical matter, such laws are rarely enforced unless there’s money to be made. In order to sue someone, you have to show how you’re damaged. If someone had a unique car, they might be able to claim that your photograph infringes on their right to exhibit it for money — but as you can see, that’s not likely.

But why don’t you make yourself some “business cards” with your name and perhaps Facebook address on it, and ask permission of the owners? I find that people are always cooperative if you give them a good reason.
