"Night shots", what am I doing trespassing around at night? I was in the local mall parking lot the other night taking pictures when security approached me and told me to quit taking pictures. I asked why and she said that camera, video cameras, and such were not permitted without written permission. I live in California and I thought the law was that any pictures taken outside of an establishment or public place was all right? Do we have anybody out there that knows the law?

The trick is DONT GET CAUGHT. Then the laws don't apply. :)

Maybe you better check with Washington. I think there has been a total recall of any rights that we had before 9/11.

I took my picture in a place where no one should mind. I still had a couple drive by me and almost stop until they saw I was just taking pictures. I guess in this day and time, everyone is a lot more cautious. I can certainly understand there is a need for it.

Oh, and my sincerest thanks to mikeys_bistro for the camera advice. For the first time I had some really nice night shots.

I also feel creepy stalking around at night with my camera. I'm sure the residents of my location didn't mind but someone watching would have thought it pretty strange.

I thought about may calling up the local airport to see what times their flights come in so I could get night shots of aeroplanes, but I thought that the people would think I was a terrorist so if I'm gonna get the shot I guess Ill just have to be snoopy about it.

Maybe you could stand somewhere outside the airport. I have had planes take off right above me on the interstate outside of the Atlanta and Birmingham airports. I always thought those would make some great pictures.

The law is: for publication (and this site counts) you must get a property release (very much like a model release for a person.)

The practicality is no one will care unless there is controversy. If the property has a rent-a-cop who catches you while he is on his work break chances are he will ask you to move on.

Damn, I think you just successfully tied the last 3 challenges into 1 photograph. Good job, though it is pretty blurry.

Tilt your head back a little please.

Yeah, we need to see those nose hairs for it to be perfect.

haha yea, my camera doesn't do a good job focusing when there's very little light. The version up from it, the 707 apparently shoots lasers out so it can focus well in no light. I took two others in the same style, one was in good focus, and the other was much more out of focus, and I don't think it really detracts from the image having it only part way clear, since it kinda lends to the spookiness.

Yeah, I agree. Now take that picture again standing in front of a building and you have an architecture submission that also has the last 3 challenges included.

haha that'd be great. i could add each challenge to the picture. as long as we don't have any underwater shots, i think i'll be fine
