And then there's the related case of photographs taken "under direction" (my camera, my idea, but you held it and pushed the button). This has a sort of "work for non-hire" feel to it, and I'm sure it's been discussed at length, too.
I don't think it has been discussed, and such images have been deleted in the past - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Minneapolis_meetup_2005.jpg
I guess such images are fair use if you never asked the person using your camera to license the image.
I'd say you don't have to ask for permission. If you came up with the idea, then you are at least a joint author.
