NYC Meets?

Yeah, I did an engagement session in CP and didn't have any issues. I wasn't blatant about it though. I had a lightstand, speedlight, and an umbrella and used it a few times I needed it. No issues at all.

One time I was near a Federal building around the Wall Street area. A police officer (might have been a rent-a-cop) came up to me and asked what I was doing. I told him I am a photographer and was just taking photos of some interesting architecture of the building. He asked me to show him the photos. I did. He told me I need to erase them. I happily obliged. Went home, and recovered the photos later.

Thats what i always think when they ask that question

Now that i have a computer with some power i was able to go back and edit these pano shots from my trip to mexico in 09:

A 13 photo pano of the private beach from the hotel:

If you're with a client you should do the research ahead of time and get all the required permits. I once saw a photographer, bride and groom, decked out in white dress and tux, get escorted out of Brooklyn Bridge Park for not having a permit. I felt pretty embarrassed for the photographer.

As far as personal stuff goes, just shoot and worry about apologizing later. If private security is a hassle, ask where the property line is and take one step back over it

Yup, you'll need permits to do any kind of commercial shoots including weddings at parks, etc. I would DEFINITELY get a permit if it was a paid shoot like weddings and such. I think something like an E-session, you can probably sneak that in because it's not too obvious. (i.e. no wedding dress, guests, etc)

Tom, remember how BBP was just a carousel of weddings when we shot one last year?

What crap . You should never have to delete photos with anything short of a court order. Glad to hear you recovered them.

I like option 2 also: make a new empty folder, then hit the review button on the empty folder.

Yeah, I know it's crap. Yeah, I know my rights. But I just don't have the energy to get in to it with the authorities and I know I can always recover the photos later. If the photos were that important, I would have deleted the photos, then switched cards so I wouldn't write over sectors.

ETTL compatible? $100...nice. Less than half of the Canon version.

The radio poppers looks pretty cool too. I never gave it a thought but I just checked out their website and it looks like you can control power output on the 580EXII, which is kinda cool. But man, they are pricey!

Yeah dude i have been doing some hard research on all of this. That ST-E2 i posted up there can be used with radio poppers. You just attach the popper transmitter right on top of that ST-E2 and then attach the receiver to your flash and your good to go. Access to all menus right from your camera to all flash options. You could also just have the transmitter right on your flash if you have it on camera as well. Ill be making the investment in a month or so into the Radio poppers.

This is a handy pdf of photographer's rights. May come in handy.

I'm sure a NYPD officer will read it and say "Sir. I sincerely apologize for not keeping up to date with the photographer's rights. You may continue doing what you were doing before I erroneously stopped you".

That PDF is just as good as toilet paper to me.
