You can't really bite a hole, just the part around it.

This is just another example of the chilling effect on our civil liberties brought on by our hysterical leadership in this country. George Bush is an incompentent fool and needs to be replaced. I took some pictures recently of our local post office and I was asked by a civilian if he could see some ID because he thought it might be illegal to photograph government buildings. I said "Bite me asshole. Call a cop" That's as far as it went though.

I wasn't specifically referring to national parks rather parks in general. You hear about photographers being asked for permits all the time. Often because they have a tripod or "fancy" equipment. It's all about revenue and not about public safety. After all the NPS says they specifically will not require a permit just based on the use of a tripod.

Hmmm.. interesting semantic... I've always considered the ahole to include the entire anus and not just the empty space closed off by the sphincter.

Yes, in other parks though, where permits are required, they make it a little easier to determine what a "pro" is. For example in some locations using a tripod would make you a "pro" and require a permit.

That's interesting... While we were visiting Whitewater Falls in NC, this photographer showed up with two bodies around his neck, a camera backpack, tripod, lots of towels and an umbrella (cuz it was raining). He got set up and I volunteered to hold his umbrella as I'm a nice girl. He didn't dilly dally taking his shots and when he was done, he got out of the way so others could stand next to the railing. What I thought was irritating were the people who were huddled under a tree to keep dry bitching because this guy "took up too much space like he owned the place or something". These were the same people who hogged railing space before the rain hit.

I wasnt going to post on this one... but then chnged my mind, lol.

This is all pre 9/11

I have on two seperate occasions taken photographs in madam tusords wax musieam (spelling) in london... Both times where with a reasonably professional looking camera (canon G2)

On the first time i was layed on the floor (wanted some different angles) and stood on steps, and held over head shots looking down on the wax works... I had my 3 kids with me... no problems at all.

The second time, almost the same thing... but this time was told off, the difference was that I had only one of my children and also didnt look quite as harrased taking photos and also keeping an eye on 1, not 3, children.

It was also at a busier time of year... the actual staff there were the very same (I'm crap at names, but good with faces, lol) theres so many combinations that the original poster could probably go back with the same model and BF, and take the same shots, and have no problems what so ever.

God knows what they will make of me this year now I'm going to be taking my 300D... dont think i'll take a nice white body lens, lol.
