More on photography laws
Richard sent me a link to a The Register article entitled So, what can you photograph? which relates to the laws surrounding what can, and cannot, be photographed in the UK.
Amongst other facts it says:
This was news to me (although Richard has just reminded me that he was asked not to video the registry signing at a recent wedding), but a quick google later and an article Govt bans wedding registry pics shows up, sourcing The Mail, and says
and
The original Mail article also says
which just seems to complicate the matter.
Amongst other facts it says:
As of last week, the government has forbidden couples getting married in registry offices from having their photograph taken as they sign the wedding register.
This was news to me (although Richard has just reminded me that he was asked not to video the registry signing at a recent wedding), but a quick google later and an article Govt bans wedding registry pics shows up, sourcing The Mail, and says
New Government guidelines say photographs of couples signing the register could invade the privacy of others because their signatures may be visible on the same page
and
There are further concerns that details taken from the wedding snaps could be used by fraudsters planning identity theft and that the photos could be in breach of Crown Copyright.
The original Mail article also says
But it seems that the ruling does not affect traditional church weddings. Church of England spokesman Steve Jenkins said: "The focus is always the couple, not the book. It would be obvious if someone started zooming and shooting the book instead.
"I'm not aware of anybody being prevented from taking a photo the couple have requested because of data protection at a church wedding."
which just seems to complicate the matter.

Flickr: Most Interesting
When reading the flickr blog earlier I spotted a beautiful penguin photo, amongst a post about tomorrow (Sunday 15th June) being Nature Photography Day, and being a penguin fan I took a closer look.

Among the sets that the photo belonged to was Most Interesting (automatic) which mentions that is automatically created by dopiaza's Flickr Set Manager. So, I took a look at the set generator, and created my own Most Interesting set. I've set it to show my 24 most interesting photos, and to refresh once a day.
Based on this set, my current most interesting photograph is this one:
Powder Mountain, Utah

I'm quite surprised by how diverese the photos in this set are and it is quite fun to notice that, at least today, 6 of them are Stick figures in Peril

UK Photographer's Rights
Thanks to Pete I've now got a print out of The UK Photographers Rights Guide PDF in my camera bag. It
is intended to provide a short UK guide to the main legal restrictions on the right to take photographs and the right to publish photographs that have been taken.
