My understanding is that in a public place you need no release. That said, I always
ask if people mind my shooting. Some folks just don't want to have their photo made.
If I try, or think I will to sell the image then I always play it safe a get the
release.
Cheers Wilber.
BTW Releases apply to peoples property as well, homes stand out as the biggie.
