Do I need legal permission for photographs?

To take them I mean. And like written permission.

So Amy, Sara and June want their photos taken and I will be posting them on FACEBOOK.

Amy says I can come take photos of her at her house in the babies nursery. She has a toddler and is pregnant with another. We will take Maternity photos.

Sara has an infant and wants their photos taken at a local park.

June wants photos of her taken with her puppy and cat inside her bedroom and outside.

They All verbally told me I could do this. Do I also need their written permission since I will also be taking photos of their children?

And Sara wants some of the photos edited and put on a CD so she can go to Walmart etc to print them off. If they are in BLACK AND WHITE SEPIA AND AN OBJECT IN THE PHOTO IS COLORED WHILE THE REST IS BLACK AND WHITE AND IF SHE GETS IT PRINTED OFF AT WALMART AND THE QUALITY TURNS OUT BAD OR THE MACHINE AT WALMART AUTO CORRECTS THE PHOTO I DON'T WANT TO BE LEGALLY LIABLE FOR IT BECAUSE MY CAMERA IS FINE AND TAKES GREAT PHOTOS. I HAVE A NIKON D3000

Added (1). Sorry I didn't realize some of the above was in caps

What are some ideas for starting up in photography?

My husband loves photography and is actually very good at it. He also enjoys doing photo art. Now, I do not know a whole lot about this stuff, but I want to get him something great for his birthday. Since this is what he loves and he is thinking about starting up a freelance business, I thought I should get something to help him out. He has a Nikon d40 and another lens that he can switch out. I think it is a Nikon ED 70-300mm (Again I'm not sure what the correct name for all of it is). He mostly likes to take pictures outside of animals or nature. He recently started to take some engagement photos for people in our family and also some graduation photos. I think one day, when he finishes college, he will think about studio shooting, but everything is outside for now. He has talked about a cannon camera. He also has mentioned some flashes. Any help would be great. I'm even wondering if there's a good magazine that I could get him a subscription too?

What DSLR camera to choose?

I'm a total newbie in this field of photography, specially in terms of dealing with DSLRs. I'm planning to buy my very first DSLR soon and I'm choosing between Canon 550D/Kiss x4/Rebel T2i, Nikon D3100 and Nikon D90. I need a camera that would pay for its price, with ease of use and that I could have for a long time. If you have any other camera suggestions, please tell. Thanks alot!

Added (1). So, I'll be taking D90 off the list. Now I'm puzzled in between Canon 550D or Nikon D3100.

Auto focus with wide angle lens?

My camera body is nikon d3100 and I'm shopping for an affordable wide angle lens for landscape shots. I'm considering the sigma 10-20 mm, but someone told me that it will not auto focus with my camera body. Is this true? Is there a similar alternative (same image quality) which will allow me to use AF? Any other lens suggestions in this regard?

Is the Nikon D7000 good for beginners in photography?

So I want to get into photography… All my life I've enjoyed taking photos and being creative with the camera as a hobby but now I want to go further and actually make something of it.

Would the Nikon D7000 be a good camera for a beginner in photography?
I currently have a cheap 'Fujifilm FinePix XP10 12.2 MP Digital Camera' but I'm a quality freak and pictures on this camera are quite fuzzy.

**Sorry if I'm using the wrong terms, lol this is new to me…

Added (1). I also want the Nikon for all the settings it has (which I'm yet to learn about)

Added (2). Hmm the Fujifilm has been on many adventures, stolen/recovered, crushed in a recliner, used deeper than 3m underwater, dropped countless times, not kept in a case etc possibly the reason it's fuzzy?

And don't worry, I would take great care of a Nikon.

Should I sell my Nikon 18-55mm lens?

I have a D3000 and purchased the 50mm lens before leaving the country. It unfortunately didn't arrive until after I left, so I haven't played with it yet. For the last couple events where I shot, I tried to limit the lens to 50mm and found it very limiting for the most part. Then I tried it at 35mm for all my shots and it worked out really well. So I'm planning on purchasing the 35mm 1.8 when I get back to the US.

I really like low light photography, portraits/group shots, and landscape. I'm planning on getting a 10-24mm before the end of the year for when I go backpacking in Europe.

So in my camera bag I'll have with me a 35mm, a 10-24mm, and a 50mm. Is the 18-55mm worth keeping around? I wouldn't mind selling it to help pay for the wide-angle. Actually, at that, would the 50mm be worth keeping as well, or should I sell it? I rarely should past 35mm, and when I do it's usually 40mm.

Added (1). Februa: I don't believe you understand much about communication, since you seem to be very poor at it. There was no reason to belittle me for asking a question. I never claimed to know a lot about photography, that's why I asked this question in the first place. I was hoping to get responses from individuals who know better, and who know how answer a question without attacking it.

I never said I could tell the difference between 35 and 40mm. I said I rarely ever shoot higher than 35mm, and if I do, it will almost never go above 40mm. With your answer, I would have assumed it is never appropriate to use a prime lens since it lacks a focal range. Though I'm sure almost every single photographer who knows anything about photography would disagree with that statement.

For my purposes, I almost never deviate from 35mm. That's why I want the 35 prime. Whenever I should landscape, I never deviate from 18mm, because that is the minimum on my lens. That's why I want the 10-24, so I can get be

Added (2). Better landscape shots. If I'm out shooting landscape, I'm going to have the 10-24mm lens. If I'm doing group or portrait shots, I'm going to have the 35mm on. I'm asking if it is worthwhile to keep the 18-55 around, seeing as how I don't think I'm ever going to touch it again. And while in Europe, i want to keep what I have on me to a minimum. Carrying 4 lenses around is not what I would call an ideal situation, especially because then I'm always going to be wondering "which lens should I put on now".

As far as the 50 is concerned, based on the type of pictures I mentioned I like taking, is it worth keeping the 50 around as well? Will it give me something the 35 won't? If between the 18-55 and the 50 I was only planning on keeping 1, which would be the better one to keep (remembering that I will have a 35 and a 10-24)?

Now please, don't respond to any more of my questions unless you have something useful to say.
