Greetings, I have a question regarding a collection of digital photos
that I've made available online and how the creative commons licencing
might apply (or not.) The photos in question are close-up shots of golf
balls with various logos printed on them. The printed logos are
generally divided into two categories (corporate trademarks & golf club
logos.) I'm concerned that the copyright to these images could/can be
challenged by the trademark holder, thus any licence I may place the
photos under might be irrelevant (q: Do I own the copyright to a photo
that I've taken regardless of it's contents ? Sounds like a silly
question but I've seen some very silly things lately.) Here are two
examples that I will post for the sake of this list,

I have approximately 800-900 golf balls with similar markings on them
and would appreciate any feedback about placing them under the creative
commons licencing.
Good day,
Robert S.
