Church Cemetery photography

[ned1]

<p>As I understand the law, if you are standing on public property you can take pictures of anything, but if you are standing on private property then you need permission of the owner.</p>

<p>No, this is incorrect. There is no general prohibition on photography on private land - meaning that is isn't automatically prohibited and hence you do not require specific permission.<br>

Photography on private land is allowed unless the landowner specifically makes you aware of a restriction - either by telling you or by posting a specific "no photography" sign. Even then, if you take photos you own the copyright and are free to use them. The most the owner can do is ask you to leave, or call the police who will ask you to leave on the basis that you are trespassing. </p>
