My Fellow Photographers:

This is really getting out of hand.

Show up anywhere nowadays, take a photo,
and a man with a gun (like this fellow) will
probably escort you to the nearest jail. Or
if you're lucky (as I was tonight), just kindly
ask you to stop taking photos.

Of TRAINS!

Yes, I was taking this photo --> http://www.pbase.com/fromtheheart/image/97406422
at the railroad station this evening when I evidently set off the
DANGEROUS PHOTOGRAPHER ALARM on their
closed circuit TV. And yes, I was asked to stop
taking photos of the trains.

(And please don't ask me how I got THIS photo.)

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7
1/60s f/2.8 at 6.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Well, you don't want someone giving away the train's exact route. That's a real guessing game isn't it. Obviously he has TONS to do, why is he wasting time with photographers...

Thank you Pbaser for revealing the secret location of this train station so I can unleash mass destruction. All I have to find is that green trash can and the world is mine!!!!!

The ultimate revenge - sneaking a photo of the guy who said "don't take any more photo" !!! HA HA HA

As I've said before, give little men a little power and you have big bullies.
I've noticed this happens more often to lone Photogs.
I've also noticed that the "Enforcers" don't even consider questioning or confronting anyone using a phone camera. Curious, isn't it?

So how did you get this photo?
