DIY - Home made in-car camera mount
40hz:
I wonder if you could use it in a more settled area without problems?
I snapped pictures of some interesting looking old houses in my home town last summer. I figured I'd use the photos as inspiration for background descriptions in a short story I was writing. The story took place on a street with houses very similar to those I was photographing.
About twenty minutes after I took the first picture, I got stopped by the police while I was taking a long shot of a neighboring church steeple. Seems somebody had called me in.
The police wanted to know who I was and what I was doing.
Maybe next time I'll try your camera mount idea. :Thmbsup:
--------
Note: I took every shot from the opposite side of the street the houses were on. At no time did I leave my car or park on anyone's property. I just pulled over (on public streets), took two or three quick shots, and then went on my 'merry' to do the same at the next one that caught my fancy. I did this maybe four or five times in all, spending approx 1.5 minutes max at each 'stop.'
The situation eventually got resolved to no one's complete satisfaction. :-\

I read about photographers caught in similar unpleasant situations often in the U.S.A.
Luckily here it isn't a problem at all (we have many others to worry about, of course).
BTW, I live near Venice; if people taking photos around were to be seen as "suspect", there would not be enough policemen in the whole nation! :)

Yup. That's exactly what the 'guys with the badges' thought too. :tellme:
(Makes me sometimes wonder what the person who complained was afraid I might have caught on SSD too. :P)
