So in a nut shell, I can take photos of just about anything [except doorways & security arrangements], but not in a full frame. I can also upload to Flikr without any problems provided the photos are not used for any commercial gain, or printed by any amateur photography magazines.

Fully understand the rules now, find them a little off-putting on the inspirational/creative side of things – unfortunately the Canary Wharf permit constrains creativity, photography is all about creativity.

I would have liked to go on this walk, but I would also like to promote my photos should I have any that are worthy of promotion, licence or sale – who wouldn’t want to promote their best photos? Maybe next time, lucky Eighth for me.

You can photograph any buildings you want, just not specifically a full frame of a building entrance or any photos of ‘security arrangements’. So any buildings are fair game.

You can upload to Flikr/Pixie without any problems, they are happy for you to do that. However they are not happy for you to submit the images to Getty or any other photo libraries as it is for ‘commercial gain’.

Regarding the question about submitting the photo to an amateur magazine unfortunately this is not permitted by Canary Wharf either.

I hope this makes everything clear.

I’ve been meaning to go on a London Photo Walk, but I am a little concerned & confused with the constraints of the photography permit for today’s walk in Canary Wharf.

The permit states that parks, plaza’s, footpaths and open spaces can be photographed, with no mention of buildings other than excluding them, and no professional use or publishing of photos taken on the walk during the time of the permit.

What happens when I upload images onto my flickr account, and other flicker users blog the photos or even better still getty images wants – wants them, or if I submit an amateur photo to AP magazine and they print it, isn’t that publishing – will I get in to trouble?
