| This may be a dumb question, but what are the rules for submitting a photo of someone else's property?(ex. a house) |

You must first purchase the property from them. Then, the Terms of Service on DPC require that you turn over the deed to the administrators if you post an image of said property on this site.
Heehee. Just kidding. I don't know, but someone does...

| I really can't see how it would be a problem unless you somehow identified them. I really don't want any crazy psychopaths coming to my house because they saw the address in a photograph ;-) But beyond that? Open game, it would seem. |

If you are on public property, and not making special effort to invade their privacy, a shot of the building is perfectly legal for our purposes. You may be restricted from making commercial use of it.
Check out this site for more info on your rights and responsibilities as a photographer:

Be sure to download and carry with you the PDF of the summary. |

Depends on teh property - PPG in Pittsburgh is really picky about letting you photograph their 30_ story skyscraper.
It is the castle looking one in the middle.
Some claim copyright or some such similar hokum on building designs.
See no problems (as i dodge the lightning bolts...)

Far as I know there isn't a 'rule' for submitting HERE a photo of someone elses house or property. I would though out of respect, probably not show an address or anything, or anything personal like their kids playing in their yard or something.
I know I'd be quite upset if someone submitted a photo of my house and it identified me in any way.
Worst case scenario...
Submit a photo of a house. Address on the side of the (very wealthy)house, kids toys in the yard. You titled it 'The Ralston's'.
A perv looking to kidnap some kids says...'sweet...there's kids at the ralston's at street address 7878, I'll kidnap their kids'
So what? There's probably a million 7878's in the world. Well...he does a switchboard search for Ralston in SC (since we can assume it's a house near you) and he sees that alas! there is a ralston at 7878 toad street. He drives to 7878 toad street, kidnaps the kids, calls for ransom. Mom and Dad have to pay billions of dollars and call the police to get their kids back safely.
Like I said...no rule against it...but be careful. :) |

Dayum! That was quite an involved hypothetical. As a potential kidnapper looking for an opportunity, I might be salivating over the "Affluence" challenge. LOL

It's not "hokum," it is US copyright law, and applies to buildings built after 1986 or so.
Here is the Special Releases List of buildings for which you need a release from the property-owner.
Note that these rules restrict your use of the photo, but do not say you can't photograph a building for personal or educational use. Just don't try to sell the image or make other commercial use of it and it doesn't matter. |
