Classic Cars and Copyright 1) If I go to a classic car show and take photos of the exhibited cars, and then publish to an Internet site some of the best photos. Do I need to have prior consent from the owners? 2) If I was to blank out the registration numbers, would the answer in 1) be different?

Yes, You would need a property release if the owner could definitely identify the vehicle as his property. You should always carry property and model releases with you to a car show if you plan on submitting the images to publications. Donnarae

Just saw this. It sounds reasonable, I will therefore take side-views. No Release needed. http://www.indexstock.com/photographers/PRguides.htm Private property-unidentifiable No Cars, boats, planes, that do not show ID numbers, license plates, or other identifiable insignia.

Just a thought, I am not so experienced with Photoshop. However, yesterday, I took a test photo of a car from the front and then "wiped" the registration number to leave a blank number plate. Isn't that also a good way to go? I mean I love side views, quarters, mirrors, and so forth, but front-end, low-down shots I really love or back-end - depending on the car (E-type Jaguar front-end for example).
