In the most european countries you can be imprisioned for 5 years if they will catch you, its important to protect yourself against too much information. On the other side your excellent work is worth to be shown to all others, and i hope that your pics and perhaps my too will show much other fans to try to get their own shots and to share. have fun zaesar.

You should fear more about social consequences, if friends/family/neighbours/coworkers know of your hobby. Many people regard it deeply disgusting, not far away from raping kids.  |
Totally agree with you too about the social consequences. I think especially for the nude beaches...
But honestly, all the pics are taken on PUBLIC beaches so...
Internet is another problem but with some "grey holes" regarding the laws...publishing pics on an american site if you're german for exemple : what applies : american or german laws ?
But the best is to not be caught I think. So, with this idea on my head, sometimes when I don't feel it, I don't shoot even if I know that I (or YOU) miss something great. At least I've my brain to remember...!
