Hi,
it's my understanding that you need a property release, similar to a
model release, before you can publish photos of private property. I think
there may be some difference depending on whether you are on the property
when you take the photo, or whether you take it from somewhere off the property.
I don't think it's a matter of copyright. I think there is some other
law involved.
Disclaimer: I am not a legal adviser. If you really need to know the
answer the chances of getting the correct one of this or any other
discussion group are practically zero, so you should consult a
specialist.
Lulworth Cove has been photographed so often, I'm surprised it isn't
worn out.
