[QUOTE="Andy Smith, post: 1006, member: 20"] Another image from Dubai last year. This is Dubai Marina, shot taken before security ran me off for not having a permit to shoot photo's in there. I am not a bad guy, I lived just opposite so took my tripod and camera over early one evening and took a few snaps. I didn't know you needed a permit to shoot there to be honest, until security came and told me to pack my stuff away and leave. I asked them about all the other people with phones who were happily taking photo's at my side of the same scene, and security told me there was nothing they could do about phone cameras but they had been told that anyone with a professional looking camera needed a permit. I wonder if they would class a Leica as a professional looking camera... :cool: Prats in hats, but I did explain it was for personal use only and not for commercial work, and they did apologize but said they were just following the rules, so all part of the excitement of grabbing a shot you like when you can. Canon 5D Mk III, EF16-35mm f/2.8L III @ 16mm, f/8.0, ISO 50, 3.2 secs [/QUOTE]
