The person in this photo would kill me if he knew i was posting this.
I hope he never finds out.
Getting a photo of this guy is tough and I was lucky to catch this Candid. mind you the SB800 probably ruined all chances of him not ever knowing I took the photo.
While I am posting pictures I may as well ask, if I go on a work conference, take my camera, take photos for which I am not specifically paid for, are they my property or my works property because i took them while on their conference??
anyways now the picture


C&C most welcome.

If you were being paid to attend the conference, and not paid to take photographs, then the photographs are yours - the worst your employer can do is discipline you for taking photographs on their time (instead of working), and that is entirely dependent on their care factor

You're kidding, right? Since you posted the photo first here it belongs to DSLRusers.com

Seriously, though, unless your work is photography and your employer pays you to take photographs they have no claim over your shots. The worst they can do is cut your pay for pursuing your hobby on their time.

I like the photo. My preferred shot is the candid portrait, & while I try, I rarely pull it off as well as this one. He should be pleased with it, not ready to kill you.

As for ownership, I am inclined to say its yours, but it really depends on the contract you signed with your employer. I have seen some that say that anything done on company time is theirs if they want it. For that matter, I have seen some that say it's theirs even if it was not on company time
I have even seen clauses that have a sunset 6 months after you quit

You might also need to read the rules for the conference venue. It is just possible (though highly unlikely!) that the venue can lay claim to ownership.
