Section 44 was suspended in July last year, if you have the search warrant with Section 44 as the reason for search then you have an excellent case.

£250 for a stock image for a small circulation mag seems excessive, I would approach the celeb agancies, wenn, bipicture, corbis etc... I am sure they wouldn't charge as much as that.

Just had a look on the Royal website & here is a page full of links for royal photography

actually security guards have no more powers than you or i.

as for buildings there are some grey areas, particularly with commercial buildings & commercial use. for example whilst you cannot copyright a building you could use it as a trademark for a logo, which would then become copyrighted...

I have had one of my GX20 recently repaired by Asahi Photo, no issue with parts or repairs.

The repair was the power on off circuit board needed replacing. I am guessing the guts inside are identical to the k20d.

Gareth is right, I think if you had a white background the image would be more tidier

I don't think he has even been in the NME yet. I firt saw him at Glastonbury last year in one of the dance tents, but wasn't all that impressed.

The music scene is rapidly changing, working in the music industry I get to know the bands & acts that are going to make it next. Yet in the last few months I have photographed bands that are getting absolutely no airplay or tv coverage what so ever & yet there will be 1000's of fans there who know every word to the songs.

Try these acts for example

Inju5tice
PJ Donnely
Sam Clarke
AJ

Seems AJ is being filmed for a current ITV 2 documentary which is to be screened in March / April time yet up to now he has had zero air play. I can only assume this interest is being raised through facebook & twitter. Like I say the whole music industry is going through this massive invisible change which most of the adult population simply are unaware is even happening...
