I have been a photographer for over 45 years, and when I applied for my Copyright from the Bureau of Copyright office, they sent me a little book. It was about the rights of photographers, and it said that as long as you were in a public place, you had a right to photograph anything you wanted. All you have to do is stay on public land, and nobody can tell you to leave. <br /> This includes bus stations, train stations, swimming pools in city parks, and railroad crossings out in the country. I also work as a conductor on a passenger train, and when we see photographers taking pictures of our train, we all wave, and smile for the camera. Some cities might have their own laws, but not all cities are the same.
