If you take a photo which includes a car with the licence plate visible, is the normal procedure to leave it as it is, or to subtly blank it out?

Thanks

You changed your name. :-)

The license number is absolutely clear within all the snow, very good picture, I like those kind of high details.

I remove it (see example) for privacy reasons. For this shot also aesthetic reasons counted. The licence plate was very dominant.

@pansa: Beautiful picture - I really hate to be critical, but I think the removal was done slightly clumsily. Sorry if I have offended you...

However, what exactly is the reasoning for privacy? Surely there's no difference between the licence plate on a photo or that in real life?

Thanks

@ Rikus
Yes I understand, removing the licence plate would mean a lot of work.
@E etc.
No problem with your comment It's constructive. For me the difference between a photo and real life is that a photo "freezes" a situation. Maybe a car owner is not happy to see his licence plate in a certain situation. But it's personal of course. In the px above aesthetics were the main reason to remove the plate with its huge white numbers. Because of the perspective the plate was very dominant.

I think it's mainly a matter of privacy and aesthetic. That's ok and everyones own decision.

But there are also other reasons. E.g. here I removed the licence plate:
234135

Why? It's a governmental vehicle and because foreigners are not allowed to drive those cars (with red licence plates) I got a driver from the ministry, too. So actually the removal is only to protect my friend&driver. Although it shouldn't be a problem, but you can't know...
Just didn't want that he gets any problems.

@klaus.w - must've taken some nerve to take that shot: did you use quite a lot of zoom there?

@Evanickelbridger: I took it with my pocket camera (an old Dimage xt). Can't remember if I used the zoom (max. 3x optical), but the speed of the car was def. slower than it seems ;-)
