I'm seeking a few images which people actually took themselves or possess the physical photo. Don't want something scammed off the Internet. I linked back to images in this post:

but if I want to recycle a version of this post in a book I will need to locate safe/free to use images of said equipment.

Thanks

Try using GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH?

You basically select/copy the image then paste it into the google
image search bar, it's one of the search options (advanced search) and
when i'm signed in appears top right as a link.

Typically image copyright exists with the photographer or failing that
whoever commissioned (paid for) that photo. Rights to use depend if
it is profit making or the copyright holder may just allow it for
certain purposes. It's how I treat requests for my images.

This is why people can get so uppity if you are carrying a camera and
start snapping, because the SNAPPER owns the image. Taken from public
property or land there is little that can be enforced, but on private
land they have to stop you before the act! Photographing others' artwork
opens a different peculator of frogs.

But this post is NOT a detailed legal discussion of copyright law
and photographs. Personally if I am or need to
take pictures in a secure area I have a set of hoops to jump before I get
authorization for the same, but generally is of hardware where data is
not visible. I May have some pictures I can share depending on what you want.

Mark Wicken's DEC Legacy event has a lot of interest from remote collectors
of old equipment which I'm sure owners would not object to being featured.

What about private land when you are walking across a right of way ?
Is that regarded as public land in this case ?

This whole area around taking photographs out in public is something I am
quite aware of as I am a walker and I like to take photographs during
my walks. Sometimes, it's a matter of common decency in that you simply
don't do things that you are otherwise allowed to.

For example, when I come across a pretty village somewhere (and there's
a lot of them around here) I always make sure photographs are taken at an
angle which means only the fronts of private buildings are photographed.

I never take photographs close up which go deeply into a private person's
own property simply because I regard that as an invasion of privacy even
though it would be quite legal when taken from public land.

And even when walking past whole buildings in secure areas while you are
on public land there are still rules about whether photography is permitted.
