Cyclocross - CX and SSCX races and training

Wot? Was I shooting Naomi Campbell or something? If someone didn't want their pic on my site, then I would have removed it. Nobody ever contacted me to remove any pics. I always contacted organisers and asked them if I could cover the event. If they had said no, then I obviously wouldn't have done so.

Just curious really, I'm sure most people are happy to have their photo taken, not sure what the legal position is for taking images of people on private property without their consent though...so wondered how you dealt with it, if at all....and if they hadn't signed a disclaimer or similar with your site details on it, how would they know that their image is on your site in order to ask for it to be removed?

*Re. Here are some of my snaps that I took with my mum's Nikon and a lightbulb.

*I lied, it's a Kodak.

If you've got permission from the race organiser, you're OK to shoot. On private land open to the public permission will allow you to photograph people without their individual consent, but note that privacy considerations will still apply.

I used to print off slips of paper and get the missus to put them on the cars windscreens in the car park and also pass them out to spectators and cyclists at the event.

The only time I used a model release form was when I was shooting models.

If I'm shooting pics of people at an event I am not selling the picture for advertising or marketing use. Hence, I didn't need a release form.

Nice Kodak.
