Summer in the City (12 pics)

[LaFoto]

Some people shots I took while we spent that one afternoon in Berlin:

1.

Some guys enjoying their ice-creams just outside SONY-Centre on Potsdamer Platz

2.

He was quite busy INSIDE the SONY-Centre... it was buzzing around him but he was fully focused on his task

3.

4.

I am just convinced all these were tourists like myself, taking pics of THEIR views inside SONY-Centre

5.

Was I spotted? I think I was.

6.

7.

Somewhere in the vicinity of Potsdamer Platz

8.

While also we were having a drink on Hackescher Markt next to the S-Bahn station

9.

A visitor to the big Swiss National Day Do at the Swiss Embassy right next to "Angie-Castle" ... erm ... the new building where our chancellor has her offices, fast arriving on foot

10.

11.

Some guys playing at frisbee on a stretch of lawn between the new Main Railway Station and the Government Quarter (with some of the big do in the gardens of the Swiss Embassy in the background)

12.

And this guy ( ) was somehow always standing somewhere where also I was, waiting more OR LESS patiently for me to get my pics taken (here with the Railway Station in the background).

Fun series of people shots. I love the 'long suffering' look on that "last guy's" face . Looks like you got 'busted' a few times by your subject. Bet it was fun though. I'll have to work up the courage to try something like that.

yeah, i love taking pics of people. it is all about courage and not caring what strangers think. it is totally legal to take pics in public places. i always get busted or i am simply too shy.

ohhh my... Andreas looks soooo BORED in this shot! I am afraid he had ENOUGH! after the whole day walking (ups... waiting for you to take pic... ) but I am sure that he will appreciate it sooner or later...

He WAS bored. And no longer happy with my taking pics paparazzi-style across the fence into the garden of the Swiss Embassy where they had their big National Day Do going on . After this, we had some dinner inside the railway station, though, and then he was in a better mood .

Great pictures I have a question, it's legal to take pics in public places, but is it legal to take pics of the people and put them on the internet? Are only with people of age?

Very good question, accafeet.
Oh, welcome to ThePhotoForum, by the way.

We have discussed this several times over in our Photographic Discussion Forums on here and for me it has remained an unsolved question ... I took these pics to take the photos of the PEOPLE all right, and they do not form only just PART of a picture of mine that means to show something else and they only happen to be inside my frame. So according to our German laws ("Recht am eigenen Bild") I should actually NOT publish them in the internet. For I don't have release by any of these people, I simply do not know any of these people. American law is different and a lot more lenient. By which law do I go when I post them on an America-based forum? Difficult-difficult.
