In the news: * The decision by the European Court of Human Rights that Section 44 isn’t legal (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jan/12/stop-and-search-ruled-illegal) * PhotoLegal has a Flickr group. (http://www.flickr.com/groups/1333530@N23/) Some members of the team are happy. Others, and it isn’t tough to guess who, not so much. * Good news from the House of Lords on Section 17 of the Digital Economy Bill (http://www.v3.co.uk/v3/news/2254386/lords-keen-remove-section) * And Copenhagen has the coolest cops in the world.... As many of you will know by now James has taken up photography and is annoyingly good (so far).  In light of this we decided to have a general beginners’ chat and help answer the queries of some less experienced photographers.  Or as we prefer to call it – James’s stupid questions.  Issues raised included the need for UV filters, captioning images and the imapct that captioning has on the perception of the images, lens choice and lighting.  Turns there’s no easy answer.

In the news: * The Government plans to change copyright law and nationalise your pictures so they can give them to the nation.  WARNING: Those of a nervous disposition may wish to avoid - I'm afraid I ranted just a little! * South Wales Police seem to think that phoning the employer of a photographer going about his lawful business and taking photos is an acceptable response * Although they want to give away your images to everyone for free, the Government doesn't seem so keen to give away the intellectual property of other categories.  Illegal file sharers will find their broadband cut off, and yet this unpoliceable system will most likely affect people whose broadband has been hijacked rather than those who are actually downloading illegal content - they'll just use a different connection! Our main topic was wedding photography with guest Tim Collins of Plinkk Photography.  Issues included the perceived worth of wedding photography, the importance of good preparation, and interesting snippet of law regarding the wedding venue, and a guide to the different types of essential insurance.

In the news: * Police fall foul of intellectual property law (PhotoLegal exclusive!) * National Portrait Gallery takes on a Wikipedia user for image theft * The British Journal of Photography launches a campaign against persecution of photographers by law enforcement agencies We answered these questions: * Chris Westcott - what are reasonable actions a photographer can take to prevent illegal deletion of images by the police, and what should a photographer do if images are forcibly deleted? * Jason - Can a police officer confiscate a memory card? * Do you need a model or property release to take images of domestic or farm animals? * Paul - if someone refuses to sign a model release, am I obliged to delete the image? * Clive - what is HDR? * If a police officer suspects you of committing an offence, can they confiscate a memory card as evidence? * If I've posted an image on a community site, then someone in one of the photos is convicted of a serious offence, should I take them down? * Images on my screen look different when viewed on another screen or when printed - why is this?

We put listeners questions to Stephen Johnson * Paul: "What constitutes changing an image?" * Ian: "How does one 'get into' submitting pics to a subscription based online image library, such as Getty? What sort of images are accepted? What kind of ballpark return could you expect to get on each image sold?"
