photographs taken "under

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

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.
