.....there really are some funny folk about 
last night Andrew (AndWhyNot), Darrell (thedodo) and myself met up for a light painting session in a favorite location of mine since Andrew was coming up to the area for the day...
Anyway the location is a large tunnel where over the last few weeks we have done quite a bit of light painting and wire wool etc, anyway last night to make it a little bit special I had arrange for a generator so we could power some of the lasers and the smoke machine that is part of Darrell and myself's normal work life...so we have a generator, associated power cables various black boxes of tricks and large light rig for attaching the various toys we were using and it's at this point before we had actually got cameras out that a car pulled up and some guy got out of the car and comes walking over...
...nothing wrong at this stage you might think, and neither did we, we are all seasoned night shooters that are specialists in some quite crazy stuff as a result we quite often attract the locals either wondering what we are doing or checking that we are not breaking the law
and almost as often as we get the general public's attention we get the police stopping to check what we're up to, and as a rule that's never normally an issue either 
though we have all had bad run in's with the police too :shake:...
...anyway back to the guy...he approaches and asks what we're up to, so naturally we told him we're there for some photography fun taking photo's of lights and being overall rather creative
...we were all privately thinking that we've not told/invited any other photographers along..and it would be a bit random to have another photographer turn up on his own as this location is right in the middle of nowhere ...so what is he there for...it's at this point that he then turns round and said "yeah, but what else are you here for?" our response to him was "just photo's, what are you here for?" and this is where it got a little shocking, he turned round and quite openly said that he has come from Sutton Coldfield and that it's a active dogging location and he thought that he's come over to this location to see what action there was now each to his or her own...
Now I've no issue with doggers if they want to go out and do that kind thing well that's up to them, but seriously what kind of extream dogging did he think that 3 blokes with the above mentioned equipment were out to do that night
