I'm about to video the flypast, outside on the road in my dressing gown. Does that count as freedom of panorama? ;-)

Then continue to advise people that they are the sole owner of a photograph just because they clicked the shutter.
My advice is that the law isn't that simple, and that blanket statements of that type are quite often incorrect.
Suppose I take a photo of someone jumping over a hurdle. Most likely I'd alter the raw image somewhat. At least change the white balance, the colour saturation and mid grey point, but I might also change perspective, clone out some elements, blur other parts, maybe de-emphasis the colour is some other areas. The resulting image may be rather different to the image that was originally recorded.
Now asuppose that the I who takes the photo is not the same I that does the post-processing.
