A huge problem in amateur (and sometimes professional) photography, is knowing what you are, and aren’t allowed to photograph. Are you allowed to take pictures of that building and if a security guard demands you delete that photo, legally, do you have to?
Photojojo have given some tips on some of the laws of photography. I believe these are the american laws, but many of them are the same as in the U.

Just been sent the link above. It seems like the police are running some sort of fear-mongering campaign to get everyone thinking that anyone taking photos in public must be a terrorist. With london being the huge tourist spot it is, and everyone taking photos of… well, everything, im not really sure what the effect of this will be.
I was hired to photograph the huge student pub crawl Carnage, in Southampton and Manchester the other week. Good fun night. Lots of students (around 1000-2000), go from bar to bar, ending up at a massive club, all with pre-purchased carnage t-shirts which they then to “enhance” with permanent markers during the course of the night. Much customisation of them goes on before the event too, it seems, with girls cutting bits off here and there to show as much of their breasts as possible, and guys just… well.. ripping them to shreds it seems? apparently it’s the carnage thing. Anyway, tiring night. 7 hours on my feet, taking photos of extremely inebriated people. Good fun though. good fun. I would do it again.
