Pictures in airplane cabins
"Shawn" wrote in message ... All: I would like to take picture in airplane cabins. http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&g...=&oq=&gs_rfai= Some flights are red-eye, and I would like to use a fast lens to take first/business class pictures. Which of the following lenses sould I use? http://www.borrowlenses.com/category/nikon Thanks. If I was aboard that flight, I would file a complaint about invasion of privacy. The flight attendant will report that to the pilot in chargem and you would face sanctions of some sort. The airplane is private property, and I did not grant third-party permission to violate my privacy. |

You have granted surveillance rights to the airline and security agencies. -- Peter |

The airplane is private property, and I did not grant third-party permission to violate my privacy. You have confused "private property" with "private place." An airplane, cruise ship, restaurant, sports stadium, or garden might well be private property. But they are public places -- open to the general public. As such, the burden of proof is on you to show that you have a reasonable expectation of privacy in such places. The only time any sanctions came into play would be if you or anyone else disobeyed a flight crew member. Almost all nations have laws requiring you to obey flight crew members and to avoid interference with their duties. Further, the OP made no mention of photographing other people anyway. Have you ever flown business class or first class on a long flight? For lots of people it is pretty special -- a trip of a lifetime. They tend to photograph their own sleeping quarters. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor |

I watched 'Blowup' (1966) the other day, there's a scene where David Hemmings, the pretty-boy arrogant photographer brat explains to Vanessa Redgrave when she complains about being photographed in a park, where she says she expects reasonable privacy What are you doing? Stop it! Stop it! Give me those pictures. You can't photograph people like that. Who says I can't? I'm only doing my job. Some people are bullfighters, some people are politicians. I'm a photographer. screen cap of the scene: http://www.lrdev.com/lr/cache/379ea71d.html |

Such as yourself, you mean? On the contrary, because I shoot images for a living, I have to know where I stand in relation to the law. As a result, I pay for, and take account of, specialist legal advice. You, on the other hand, can give all the BS advice you want, because you haven't any experience to tell you just how wrong you are. You are completely out of touch with reality. Actually, I also pay for specialist legal advice. Okay, so my lawyer disagrees with your lawyer. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor |

writes To the original poster: Do not even attempt what you are proposing without obtaining prior written permission from the airline. And don't be disappointed if they say No. That's free advice from one of the best intellectual property lawyers in the world. Whilst I agree with you what does the "best IP lawyer in the world" know about airline and photography law? Probably the same as a public order lawyer knows about IP law? AS it stands the airline make the rules as part of the conditions for travel. (Read the small print on the booking form :-) If you take any pictures and another fare paying customer objects you will be asked to stop. Then the law is all on the side of the airline. -- \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \/\/\/\/\ Chris Hills Staffs England /\/\/\/\/ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ |

To the original poster: Do not even attempt what you are proposing without obtaining prior written permission from the airline. And don't be disappointed if they say No. nonsense. absent a prohibition of photography, it is completely legal. a flight attendant might ask the person to stop and s/he would need to comply with their request. some airlines prohibit taking photos of the flight crew, but photos out the window and of traveling companions are fine. countless people take photos inside and outside airplanes and at airports every day. neither of these sites would be possible if it were illegal: http://www.airliners.net/advsearch/ http://www.airlinemeals.net/index.php and if you want a lawyer's opinion, there are several lawyers on flyertalk.com who will tell you *exactly* what the relevant laws are (one of whom used to post in this newsgroup). the topic comes up a lot on flyertalk, with people posting photos of cabin interiors, the food served, views out the window and more. one person was even assaulted by rent-a-cops at jfk and he stood firm, and ultimately got a letter of apology. http://www.krages.com/lhp.htm http://ambientlight.ca/laws.php http://www.sirimo.co.uk/2009/05/14/uk-photographers-rights-v2/ That's free advice from one of the best intellectual property lawyers in the world. a true lawyer would not be giving advice to a non-client, especially via someone posting for him, over usenet. if someone is really concerned, contact their own attorney for advice. |
