Point taken Sally, but who sells the images? Photographer or Photo Stock Britian, or a combination of the two?  We'll just have to try and employ some common sense, mind you I'm a bit short of that stuff!

I have done some home work and this is it!

NT do require a property release unless you are submitting the images to their photo library. It is the same with a lot of privately owned buildings. As long as you are on public land though they can't really do anything

Some pictures of buildings require a property release to sell them, or to list them on stock agencies

you can sell any photo taken in a public place (or from a public place/right of way). I'm not sure what the rules are when people can be seen in the photo though.

Private land (such as an NT property) is different and the owner can place any restrictions they choose. Laughing

Rod, clearly  in the context of your question the owner of the  copywrite to a photograph is the photographer so that's where the responsiility lies. At least that's my take on the question given the info I have read so far, but then as you indicated common sense is not as common as perhaps it should beLaughing

Another thing worth mentioning, please be aware that you are not selling the copyright when you sell an image on the new site. You are simply selling a license for the buyer to use the image. The copyright is not transferred to them.


 I think this is a great Idea, so firstly thanks for setting this up, I may well try my luck, but I was wondering if POE benifits from any sale, as I would be happy for a proprtion of any sale from my pictures to go POE for providing the service

I hope they bought the right to use it from you Paul.  Or did you donate it to them?

Just checked-----sent to BBC Radio Berkshire in 2003 for their photos of Berkshire page. A handful of my slide photos were used on it, this being one of them.  On Poe here too, as you might also find.

After reading their terms of submission, no futher images were ever sent to them bar one taken for presenter Anne Diamond's blog a short time ago, which she used for her first posting on it. A photo of Thatcham.

A credit alongside the news one about the canal wouldn't have gone amiss. Currently also on their home page as a lead-in to the story.

I would have thought a credit would have published but maybe that information was not kept with the pic since 2003 til now!  Perhaps you should remind them!
