Can I make money from taking pictures of cars or is there some sort of copyright issues attached?
If I was to create a car quiz app using pictures of cars I took myself, would there be any copyright issues with me taking pictures of cars/logos etc and profiting on this? I'm kind of leaning towards no but I would like confirmation. I mean, there are photographers who picture cars or paint cars and sell them, do they need licenses to do so?
Did Michael Clayton know he had a bomb in his car or was that just luck he got out at the right time?
It wasn't luck. He saw the horses standing on the hill, and it reminded him of a picture he saw in the book "Realm and Conquor" that he found in Arthur's apartment. (The book had a picture of horses on a hill, which we can see as Michael flips through it.) He regretted that Arthur had died, got out of the car when he saw the horses because of his memory of the book, and that's when it blew up.
Is it illegal to take a picture of a person's license plate and then post it online?
No, as long as you legally took the picture of them in public without obstructing their routine, are not stalking or following them, and you are not posting anything of a personal or private matter, and the postings are not lies, racial, slanderous, or defamatory.I have routinely taken pictures of vehicles improperly parked and posted them online, as well as reported then to the police, parking authority, or bylaw enforcement. There's nothing illegal about that; it just shows how carelessly ignorant that driver was, especially when they park where it's clearly posted that it's not permitted, like a disabled spot, fire route, fire hydrant, intersection corner, front lawn, sidewalk, or backwards on a one way street, etc.Incidentally, this is exactly how they caught a bank robber in the Scarborough area of Toronto last summer. There were a series of bank robberies by a person wearing a full burka. The getaway vehicle was illegally stopped, and running by the banks front doors at each incident. During one robbery a pedestrian thought it was strange and took a picture of the running vehicle with the driver inside, then called the police. About 3 hours later, they apprehended the driver. About 1 hour later they apprehended the bank robber in the Ajax/Oshawa area, still carrying the same gun, and then found a teenage boy underneath the female family members burka.Hence the burka ban in Quebec, and the illegal use of any and all face coverings while on public, used to disguise the identity of a criminal.
Blue book car value vs real market value?
never trust a dealer's opinion on your car's value, they're only out to make cash and will pay the lowest amount possible for a used car(this is how they make money). the blue book value itself is the approximate value for your car, but no one gets this value when selling it. take an honest look at your car and decide the condition, if it's good then try to sell it for about $4000. i understand that this is less than blue book, but it's only worth what someone will pay and a lower price will attract more buyers. make an ad on craigslist, this is the easiest way to do it and it attracts a large number of buyers(plus it's free). get a digital camera and take some pictures of your car, inside and out, then post them in your ad. now once you start to attract buyers, people are going to try to talk your price down a bit. this is completely normal and it's expected when buying a car from a private party. in all actuality, you'll probably get about $3800 for it from the right buyer. afterwards, you need to go to the notary with the buyer and have the title transferred there. you can also release liability at this time, and you'll need to remove your license plates from the car as well. i'm not sure about the smog test because i don't live in CA.
How to describe a car for a story?
Ah, descriptions... Adjectives are my best friends, you know? Well, anyway, how about this? "From bumper to bumper, the car was a beauty. I admired each and every one of its stunning details... The headlights shone just as bright as the blazing sun up above, which was beaming off the hood and into the supple, leather interior. Then, looking down, I could see my reflection in the shiny, metallic rims; each surrounded by rugged, gravel-encrusted tires." I'm not sure what context you're using the description in, but perhaps this will help a little bit. I hope it does. Good luck with your story.
