Even more unbelievable! Photography can be art too - but available to those who can't put paint on paper - like me. It does seem a bit discriminatory, or even snobbish. I wonder what would happen if Mr A took a photo to do a painting to sell for profit?

Good to hear that someone has challenged the nazi trust (I like it!) Bet Alamy has quite a few on there anyways - caterpillars and such don't have 'I belong to the NT' hung round them in big letters.

It made me wonder if the all photos taken on these courses also become the property of the NT?
After having to pay £65.00 for the course to then be told that the photos also belong to the NT might not go down to well to say the least.
They probably frisk them for hidden memory cards before they leave!
Seriously - what are they playing at? And more interestingly do they have some kind of hidden agenda? It just doesn't make sense to hit the people they hold the property in trust for over the head with big sticks! It's extremely alienating and the more is heard of it the more likely their revenue may dwindle.
I'm glad I'm not a member - haven't been since the kids were small and definately won't be now.
