You can take any photos you want, pretty much. Just can only use them for certain things. Personal use is pretty much OK across the board.

Other than that, even hanging a photo in one's office, the law comes into it.

Since I am making no money, and certainly not from someone I have definitely had no permission to take photos of, I am not exploiting them (contests were not mentioned as exploitation), etc, I have nothingto worry about re my photos.

    Good question. I know certain Architecture that is considered art cannot be sold. Such as the popular auditorium in Syndey, Australia. I believe any plain building can be shot as long as trademark/branding is not visible. (logos, advertisements, etc) But I'm not a pro at stuff like this. I just happen to know that stock sites like www.istockphoto.com will not accept them at all so it must be for a reason.

    The lone cypress out near carmel,california is copyrighted or some such thing. You can't sell pictures of it either. Pretty strange if you asked me.

    Anytime anything is in question about copyright laws I always do two things. One is call my Lawyer (yes, doing this sort of thing it pays to have a lawyer or even just to know of one) and 2. is to go to www.copyright.gov for all that pertinant information as well as pdf forms to copyright any of your own personal work. This is a dog eat dog world people, and I hate to say it but it is best to cover all your bases. Mind you, this is not leagal advice that I am giving. That would be a crime ;) I'm just saying this is what I do.
