Yosemite copyrighted?

Hi everybody,

I´m asking myself, whether pictures from the national parks like Yosemite or Yellowstone that show special attractions from these parks are copyrighted and need a PR to publish/sell.

Haven`t found any official website, that could clear it up.

Any clues?

Best regards

Well that's pretty clear to me. Unless you're shooting in an area off limits to the public, using a model or props that aren't part of the park proper, or the park incurs a cost as a result of your shooting, then you are pretty much free to shoot there.

I suppose the question that arises is 'what happens when you shoot a photo of your model with some recognizable icon of the park like, say, Half Dome or El Capitan as part of the image. Sounds like you'd need a permit then.

There's a table under that link and I'm looking at the first line:

1 - 2 people, camera & tripod only $0/day

:)

So that probably means you should still get the permit but it'll be free.

I read that to mean that IF you meet one of the three listed criteria for obtaining a permit. . then the fees will attach for the permit based upon the number of people in your party. I would be willing to wager that Mr and Mrs Tourist, on a hike to Half Dome, on a public trail,do not need a permit to shoot. Their usage of the park does not fall under the three proscribed conditions for obtaining a permit.
