Photograph ownwership rights
If I photograph a barn, waterfall, etc. that is on private property can I use or sell the photograph as I wish? Does the property owner have any ownership rights? Or, do I have to have a release from the property owner?

I've heard different awnsers to this, one is that if you were on public property, then no you don't need a realese and I've heard that you do need one even if you're on public property. But I'm sure that if you are on the private property then you need one. So it's best to just get a model release anyway.

private property is just that,private property.don't sell anything without a release. but don,ask them.some property owners are flattered when you ask,some,oh well. just knock on the door and ask.you'll meet some different people out there.it's all an experience,and will make you a better person,and a better photographer.enlightenment,opens the eyes,opens the soul.good or bad,it will give you more character. sam

Thanks for your answers. I'm not sure I can stand being much more of a character. But, anyway, where can I find a template release form for property owners?
