Exactly,
There was a time when we didn't have to worry about that sort of thing at all. I still take my camera everywhere anyway. If someone wants to complain... too bad!
I did this over 30 years ago.

Thanks very much Andre, I'm sure you can appreciate what a nonsense this is. There are millions of people there during the day, it was perhaps more unusual to see someone taking pictures at 5 AM. I read that you also need a permit to photograph anything on TTC property too, so there goes my future subway pictures :(

Hi Ina,
Sorry I'm a bit late getting to these shots.
Congrats on the award for this one!
A beautiful night shot that you had to go through a bit of a struggle to get! What a shame about all the security party poopers around now a days. They would probably let you walk around with a rocket launcher on the sidewalk and wouldn't recognize it. But whatever you do, don't set up a tripod :)

Once again, fantastic urban geometry! There is a glowing translucent quality to the tree decorated tress that you have captured beautifully and in beautiful counter point to the geometric buildings. Very lovely. Funny story too! And I thought you were a professional! ;-)
Very best,
Mark

Thanks Andrzej, what a nice way to end the week! I don't know my way around TO 7 I was looking for some skyscrapers with lots of bright windows, but most were fairly dark at 5 AM (conserving energy), certainly not the way I imagined. I see the downtown from my balcony - it's 20kms away, and it looks very bright from a distance, but once you get there, it's a different story. This was one ofthe more obvious places :)

Thank you Jeanette, that is a very poetic description! I was looking for a cluster of skyscrapers with many lit windows to shoot, but most lights were turned off - I think everybody is saving energy nowadays and so this was one area with some obvious light :) Ina

Ina, you've got a lot, I do not know how better it would look from the platform but the one here has great perspective angle and nice effect integrating lines of lights from buildings and seasonal tree decoration inti impressive form. Interesting happening but I'm not realy clear on a motivation for the restrictions.
Congrats on BIP,
Cheers, NJ

Fascinating 'about' section Ina . . . I had a similar experience shooting on an elevated train platform for the blurry image project. Get this, I was in Uniform, badge, captain's bars . . . the whole nine yards . . . and then was approached by two County deputies who advised me I could take all the pictures I'd like (Sir) but could NOT use the tripod! Makes little sense to me and, of course, handheld eliminates quality work for slow shutter speeds. And . . . somehow . . . I don't feel any safer! LoL! This is a cool shot . . . I'd love to get at it with my fish-eye lens!
Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~~

The very same thing happened to me in NYC in front of the Lincoln Center... LOL!! But I got my shot before he noticed me and even without tripod (I lugged it al the way there so I had to use it... even if it was only once... ;-D) they were OK. But by the look of things the move you had to make was a blessing in disguise, for now you've got a super POV/angle... love all the lights, great composition... well done!!

Hi Dave, the tripod is a the hallmark of a pro... well at least I got away with this shot. The guy was very nice though, he was only doing his job. Now if I go again during the day, that will make me a repeat offender?

Very nicely composed, Ina! I'm glad you were able to get this before getting kicked out! At least now we know what constitutes a "pro"!

Hi Elisa, night photography is not my cup of tea: tripod, exposure, being out there at late or early hours. I was a bit scared by the security guard, plus it's an eerie feeling to be there with nobody on the street, only the homeless... Hugs :) Ina

Thanks Leonardo, I'll move it to "Night Photography" - I'm not a night photographer, and if you read my story I didn't have much time to take pictures, as I was chased away by security :)
