[QUOTE="bluenoser, post: 61914, member: 6351"] I'm not a professional photographer so I'm sure my take on things is a bit different than the fellow in the article or in fact some members on this forum. My *initial* take on this after very briefly reviewing the article, etc. is this: The photographer's job to capture pictures of the fire is so much LESS important than those people trying to put OUT the fire! The don't need to worry about some guy getting himself in trouble - press pass or not - they have a very intense, important job in stopping that fire, saving land and saving lives. I don't see this as one of those situations where "big brother" or "Da Man" is trying to hide or control something from the public (unlike some other, more obvious situations like just taking a picture of a building in downtown London or something). These firefighters and cops are probably stressed to the max., have family, friends and their own homes in the area that they are worrying about and now to have this photographer poking around was just a bit too much for them to deal with (and I don't blame them). This photographer should have just read the situation better and got his butt out of there PDQ. I don't blindly support police and readily acknowledge they can be overly aggressive brutes often times, but I'm not sure that is the case here. Just my .02 (and I hope I won't need my fire retardant suit!) :) PS. We do have an Off Topic forum - so would that make it any more palatable to you D5100 shooter if it was located there? (just curious?) I dont' see why it would but I think this story is quite topical for a photography site notwithstanding the sub-forum it is posted in! (and I'm not just saying that because the OP is the boss! lol!) [/QUOTE]
