Sell Your Photos! On poe's new sister site!

Trying to understand your question Sally---as though you've gone some place and they've said it'll cost you  £ xxx  to take photographs?  I've never been to a place like this but the key thing to start is it must therefore be on private property; therefore I would enquire about the photos then being offered for sale.  

Bill asked about taking a photo of a cottage?  If it were a specific cottage and not just a general street scene, I would get a Property Release signed to be on the safe side. It also depends what any photos are going to be used for.

Abbey House Gardens in Malmesbury----they claim the copyright to any photos taken on their property. I'm not convinced they could go that far to claim ownership of any photos you took as those photos are yours, but they can restrict what you do with them i.e. in their case, photos of their flowers/ gardens turning up in magazines, books, or anything else, without their permission.   

In just checked Winchester Cathedral I've often visited and photographed inside and in their grounds and outside of their grounds too. They now charge an admission fee; personal photograghy outside of service times is no problem; but for commercial photography and filming it is different

As I read this, even having paid the admission fee we would not be able to upload and offerfor salel on our sister site without written permission which obviously would only be given at a cost. Kinda rules out most historical buildings and places of interest where an admission charge is made or am I being too pesimistic? Add to all this by excluding all places which have even a tenuous link with national security etc the whole think become a minefield. Oh dear, I always describe myself as seeing my glass as half full, but I think I'd better go and get a glass full to cheer myself up.

I've spent quite a while surfing the net for info on restrictions when offering photos for sale and there is certainly a lot of information out there. The result of this is that I would encourage anyone setting out to offer their images for sale to check that their images cannot land them in a legal wrangle. What do other members think?

I think Sally might have in mind is photos that might well be ok to take, but could have possible publication problems.  

Looking at your avatar, for example-----go to the IAT  air tattoo at RAF Fairford; lots of great plane photos to take at the airshow and none of them will be saleable. 

Paul you are absolutely right.

 Some of the restrictions are obvious when you think about them and some seem ridiculous but they are there and we would all be wise to acknowledge them. At first I found the whole question quite confusing but after thinking about it for a day or two I realise that I still have plenty of suitable pictures which I could, and will, offer for sale

My concern is that there must be many POE members who are keen to offer support to our sister site but have never previously offered their pictures for sale and could upload pictures which have the potential to land them in hot water.
