Old buildings - legal rights to photograph.

I love old buildings, barns, farm houses and churches. Do I need the owners to sign off on rights before shooting pictures?

No, but ask permission before going on private property. 8-)

Shooting from public areas is normally not a problem, unless the building is affiliated with the government. Then you may be bringing unwanted attention from the police or other officials, even if they don't have the legal right to stop you, sometimes they will regardless.
If you are using the photos for commercial purposes, then yes, you need signed property releases from the owners or legal representatives.

The only time you'd need a signed property release is if you were using the images for commercial purposes. Other than that, as others have said, make sure you don't get arrested for trespassing.

I agree, thank you for mentioning commercial purposes, I presumptuously assumed the photos would be for personal use. 8-)
