Hi Kevin!
It's something that every photographer should be aware of.
Last summer, I was at a dog show, in a public park. The professional
photographer, shooting shots of the winners with their owners, was telling
bystanders that they could not take photos there, which was absolutely false.
True, she was trying to protect her self-interest, but when I confronted her
with the truth, she backed down. Had I let it slide, she'd have intimidated
many people. (By corollary, if she wanted to take images in private, she
should not choose a public park to do it in.) But it shows how people will try
to bamboozle you with bravado. So, if you do wish to take photos, you need to
know when and where it's legal. (Thankfully, in most countries, it's most
places!)
Thanks for commenting. It is an important issue, and every photog should have
this info in his/her camera bag.
How do you like Honolulu, over Seoul? Better photo opportunities?
David.
David,
Thank you very much for providing this [unfortunately] useful information.
