I had a great night with all here on Friday night. Caught the train at Hurstville and i thought Id snap some of the local wildlife on the platform.
After a few snaps I had security breathing down my neck. He asked me why i was taking pics, and no you aren't allowed cameras on city rail property. Bah! too late mate. Its quite a great place to shoot.

Ask him to point the sign out stating you're not.

Great shot, Jethro.

He reckoned the terror bullshit has a huge impact on what you can and can't do. We are existing in a police state! true or false?

G'day urban shot... Wonder if blurring the background a smidge or maybe a subtle vignette might make your subject more prominent, the background just seems a bit busy... Might be just me though

Isn't the crap from the "authorities" a bit of a joke, I could just imagine a terrorist walking around with a bloody SLR!

You could have put the camera away and pulled out your mobile phone then asked him for his portrait (Whether your phone has a camera or not is irrelevant)

Good photo too. It tells a story....

Great shot Jethro. Be interesting to see what he'd have done if you weren't as polite and compliant as I have no doubt you were!

That's fair enough, but what he thinks and what the rules are are entirely different things.

I'd like to see him stop people using phone cameras.

Pissed me off a bit. I didn't realise. But your point is valid Leigh!

Jethro,

Great image, and screw the rail Hitler brigade. It's still public propety, isn't it?

...and right in the middle of the frame is the subject's crotch.

Indeed. So did you get a pic of this guy or what? Was great to have you at the dinner too, welcome to the loop!
