Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure 20060415

[Jeff Medlin]

My wife and I went to the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure event this morning. We ran into alot of fellow TPF shooters. A image from this morning, and a question to the board members.

Question? I shot this from the sidelines, (so obviously no model release), and listed the name of the event. Is it ok to do this? Any help, and C&C always welcome.

Wish you the best,

Jeff

What are your intentions for this photo?

To post it to your web site, or to display it on a public forum should be OK.
You cannot use the image in any commercial way without a release.

As long as the subject was in a public place, and your photo does not depict them in a way that could be considered derogatory, you should be OK.

The operative word is SHOULD. The courts have been known to go in all directions.

His head is clipped and would prefer the background to be less prominent. Reduce background size and/or sharpness. I don't know what your real life options were regarding location and equipment. What equipment were you using? Details on lens, focal length, f/stop, shutter speed, frames per second, location, etc. would help. The usual suspects.

Looks like you captured the poster guy for fitness.
