Photographer looking for trucks

privacy issues and also some copyright issues also I believe as some companies logo's are trademarked.

Nothing worse than seeing your trk. and trl. posted on some add or sign post and you had no say in it.

My trk. was on a anti wind site one time.
They got away with it,because it did not show the company name or my name, but I knew it was my trk. and I knew just where and when they took the pic.

 

Got that right passingthru! No matter what, you need to either get permission to photograph the property, or plan on never using it for anything. Copyright is serious business for photographers. We don't want our photos being used without our permission, so we need to respect that for those that own the property we want to photograph.

 

if your on a public road your truck, load and driver is open game. Photographers don't need your permission. How do you think paparazzi get away with what they do? Hollywood stars have tried to beat down picture takes and have paid through the nose in court.

 

Paparazzi get away with it because what they are shooting is 'technically' 'news'. A rather lame way of getting away with what they do. The news excuse is hard to use in too many cases. I am a photographer, and have looked at it closely. That and I have some scruples about what I will and will not shoot. I want people to respect that my photos are my property, so I will respect that something I am thinking about photographing is someone else's property.

 

I agree too. Photography is my hobby also. I would also ask for permission before I shoot, but it's not required.

Here is a good blog for you if your interested. The UK is cracking down on public photos due to terrorism issues.

I don't know if you are looking to take pictures, or just like seeing them and can't find enough existing ones.

If the latter, here is the granddaddy of all truck photo sites:

You can literally spend days clicking through what's there. Enjoy.

 

hanks pics are great

 

Well, first of all, as a trucker and CNN Photographer, ANYTHING in public view is fair game, you DO NOT need anyones permission to shoot it, publish it etc. Look up the laws for media access!. You may NOT go on private property without permission, You may go on local & state property with the proper press identification. Do NOT use your photos(with someones truck in them) to endorse a product without consent of the truck owner.

You might look at a very dear friends work, who is now passed, Bette Garbor, She made quite a living by taking photos of trucks...........................
