Left to right ... Barbour shooting gloves for when it's chilly and windy, Vallerett for Brass Monkey times, with tasteful Deerstalker hat, lastly Macwet for when it's raining. My weapons of choice. Yes, the Vallerett are supposed to look like that, they are not worn. :)

Oh thanks, I'm near Wimborne, Dorset. Have to wait and see I guess. :)

Well done that man/woman. That is the app he used and looks just the job. Please accept this virtual :beer:with my thanks.

Not heard of that one, I'll check it out and get back. Thank you. :D

I watched a video on Youtube recently and the photographer was using an app showing the percentage likelihood of fog. Does any of our learned colleagues know of an app that forecasts fog or more importantly mist for the following day? I would like to have one so I can plan a morning out, rather...

Glad to meet up James, I live in Corfe Mullen, maybe not until March though. ;)

I thought I'd do a two hour time lapse of my road! :ROFLMAO:

Yeah, I fully understand you can't obstruct people, put big tripods up, lighting stands etc. I am not interested in taking images of people's lounges. I would suggest you could possibly put up a step ladder to say take an overview of a street, maybe a protest march, as long as you do not...

Too true but has not been superseded. I have seen videos taken this year where the police have said taking photos in a public place is legal.

The reason I posted the letter is, if nothing else it might help people to understand what the Police view is on 'street' photography, if they hadn't seen it. For me, the grey area is what is public access and what is a public place. I did say I was uncertain about being able to shoot there. :)

No I fully understand that Steve, it is open for public access though. I agree it is one area I am uncertain about shopping centres like that. However, the security guard had absolutely no right to detain plus if he had laid a hand on me I would have sued him. Also, the fact children were 'in...

This is what the Police think, you can take photos in public and no security guard or Police have the right to stop you. There are loads of Youtube videos on this topic. Well worth a look.
