Yes
to take pictures then you now (probably always have) need written permission in advance from the centre management. Two separate groups of us (:wave: if you were one of the other lot) were buttonholed by one of their "marketing and pr staff" this afternoon.

Apparantly, according to Sharon Lyons of their marketing and pr department (who chased use for a good 20 minutes to tell us this :lol:) you may not post any photograph taken on or of their premises (which extend further than you think ;)) including the Science Centre/Tower and IMAX on any website, once again without written permission.

Methinks they're going to have their work cut out enforcing this, but those of you in the Glasgow area might like to know :shake:
 
Sounds like a cue for EVERYONE in Glasgow to take fotys of the place and post em up.
 
Gotta agree with chameleon, if they want to be that anal then I think they deserve to have a full assault of togs with tripods and massive lenses, just to really pee in their coffee :D
 
Och, I've been snapping there all year,

Missed it again!
 
I'm up for a sustained snapping attack. Need to take a run up to the Barras for a new hoodie.
Have a few pix of this area, but I'm on my laptop and the pix are on my desktop, or I'd post shot too.
If only Wallace were here to lead the assault - Ye can take ma tripod, but ye cannae take ma D40X !
 
seems like good news to me, far too many shots of that place anyway. they should start doing it with Eilean Donan Castle and glen coe lol
 
challenge accepted, I know this was at the dead of night but I will not be told NO!

I've already tried that re George Square....the same policy will be in force there once the christmas decorations go up and the ice rink etc are installed...
 
What a load of *****. Glasgow is ****ing me of so much right now! Groooar! Took heaps of pictures of SECC a couple of months ago after we watched the Batman in the IMAX.
 
I'm off down there tonight with my dad. I'll be wearing black now. LOL

If the photos are for personal use only they can't touch you, surely.

I'm also planning to takes shots of the George Square lights. :suspect:

did you tell her job is to promote not chase away people lol Glasgowflickrmeetupgroup had meeting there last week. loads of togs taking pics and i've never heard of Sharon Lyons... so **** her if your inclined lol

George Square said before no probs just dont stick tripod in front of people
 
Aye, as oldfart says, there was a decent sized group of us there all with cameras and tripods and no one said nowt. I even took shots through the windows of the BBC with a tripod. Rules like these are only bad for one thing in particular, tourism. Can you imagine telling tourists that they need a permit to take shots of some of Glasgow's best architecture? Idiots.

I too think thatthey are going to have trouble enforcing this:
a) how do they know who is or isn't taking a photo to post on a website?
b) whilst they are probably within their rights (although not very customer/tourist friendly) to ask you not to take photos on their property how are they going to enforce it during e.g. the River Festival or outside normal hours?
c) there are plenty of places to take photos of those without being on their property - how about the BBC, the road (it's not private), the river, the north bank, Canting Way etc. ...
 
Well I went down last night and was around the BBC, STV, Science Centre, Imax and Tower for the best part of 2 hours and nobody blinked an eyelid. I could have jumped on the Waverley if I wanted to. lol

Off their premises? I think not, Science Centre/IMAX. Where's my Bigma?
