GoPro produce some fantastic images. I was very dubious of them but I have seen stalls taken from video blown up to A3 and faultless so I had to eat humble pie

I agree, in ideal conditions they are very good. But 'DSLR quality' should mean Nikon D850 not a Kodak DCS-100.

They may well have considered it. In the UK if you produce copyright work in the course of your employment then, in the absence of enforceable agreement to the contrary, copyright is owned by the employer not the employee. The position is different for contractors who are employed under a contract for services rather than under a contract of service. Many employment contracts spell out that intellectual property produced is owned by the employer for various reasons but that does not detract from the default position that copyright work produced in the course of your emploment belongs to your employer. Reasons can include:
- Simply clarifying the position so there are no arguments later.
- Covering any doubt as to whether an individual is an employee or a contractor.
- To cover forms of intellectual property other than copyright such as patent where the default position is different.
- To cover the grey area as to was the work produced in the course of your employment or not. E.g. If your job description did not specify taking publicity shots but you decided to take a camera for your own pleasure would any shots taken be so taken in the course of your employment and could you claim you were on a lunch (or other) break when you took them? Quite a number of years ago Edinburgh University decided if any employye or contractor produced anything worth money using its facilities then it wanted the profits and so changed its contracts such that even if someone did private unpaid work on Uni premises, say in evenings or at weekends outside of work hours, The Uni still owned any IPR.

Trade Unions and outfits like citizen's advice can provided specific advice.

Interesting, I’m self employed, contracted to provide ‘Ranger’ services to a charitable trust and I have total autonomy over my own hours. If I put myself off duty for a photo opportunity, that would cover it, but I don’t think the problem would ever arise in any event.

As far as the quality of pics coming from my GoPro, I’ve had some cracking images over the years, but nowhere near DSLR quality and that stops me going much more than A4 size, especially when I get a bit of spray or salt on the lens.

A very wise piece of advice from Kevin MacDonnell, which seems appropriate here: "You should never allow the pursuit of 'quality' to prevent you getting the picture you want".
