I agree, why not leave the dude alone and find another place to take your pictures from? I don't understand why some people feel the need to push small things to the limit.

There are no other places. I live in florida, everything is flat and one story tall (except some 2 story apartments) with no basements. The parking garage is several stories and several hundred feet high. As you can see from the attached image the parking garage is taller than most everything else.

No I had no strange tripods, cases, or sniper scopes. Just a simple not so expensive camera that take "OK" pictures.




I went back today and took pictures for probably 40 minutes. Rent-A-Cop didn't show his face this time.


I prefer to take my own pictures for my desktop wallpapers.

If you had a Nikon, then he would have known you were a real photographer!

this guy was a total jerk over compact parking spots at this mall in L.A ..basically i kept walking intill i got inside the mall and went looking for the security office and asked to see the person in charge and explain to the person what just happened outside and explained to the person that i drive a small smart car and had parked into a compact spot and was told by the officer ---- that i could not park there for my smart is not a compact car.. at that point the person who was in charge was basically going iam going to kill that person look ..

the person said thank you for bring it to there attention about what happened and they will take care of it as i was walking away the person was beening told on the radio that a smart car is a compact and not to bother people who drive a smart or small cars ..

it not about pushing things to a limit it about them beening a total jerk about the basic areas of beening a job that they need to learn to be a little more common sense when it comes to thinking ..instead he went out of his socalled partol zone to come over to a area they do not even partol to mess with someone ..

that like when the people who used to drive up to south mountain and take pictures of the valley of the sun in the dusk or at morning sunrise of the citys or night time shots of the city when we do a partol of the area when we saw the people with cameras and telecopes set up with just dove by and waved at them ..

now if you standing there with a beer in your hand you got our attention and we stop and we a few second chat with the time to see what they where driveing or not but most of the time it was family members there with setups for viewing he stars or takeing photos ..

Sounds to me like his "assumed" authority has gone to his head; just like every wannabe cop I've dealt with.

I have a Nikon D40 and I would say that about 95% of the time it is in full auto mode. The camera (like my wife!) makes better decisions than me... most of the time.



But I do have a really cool Nikonians.org strap:



and a baseball cap:



That I won on a contest on the Nikonians podcast. (I don't know who the woman is that is wearing the cap, but she was not included!)
