Restricted photography

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

I was recently in Lulworth Cove http://tinyurl.com/8ydyl Lovely hot day,
cracking views, it was really qite nice!

I noticed a sign posted on a fence just before the walk that takes you up to
Durdle Door and the Man O'War that said I had to get permission for any
commercial photography.

Seeing as I had no intention to make any commercial photographs I ignored it
and snapped away as I would normally.

I was wondering why they would place such a restriction and if it would be
enforceable in law if sometime in the future someone wanted to buy one of my
holiday snaps.

Anyone out there know about this sort of thing?

Cheers

A lot of places have their own gift shops with pictures and don't want the
stuff there to have competition.

More than likely they are referring to bringing models, set up
lighting and that sort of thing. Just a guess though.

I guess it depends on wether the land is private or public then.

I have to assume that the land in question is private.

Still, got some nice snaps and I wan't planning on selling any anyway.
