I wonder if this thread will ever get back to protecting the rights of
photographers to use their Pentax cameras for whatever peaceful
law-abiding purpose they see fit? ;-)
So last night, I decided I wanted to take some pictures with my long
telephoto lens. I have already spotted the Re/Max balloon low and heading
west, so with my wife's permission, I give chase, ending up just to the
northwest of the #1 runway at the airport.
Set up the big wooden tripod, and put the lens with camera attached onto the
gimball.
For quite a while, I observed the airport, took pictures of the balloon, and
a few of various other things. I probably hung out for a half hour, perhaps
more.
A few vehicles went past, one guy asked if it was OK to keep going, he was
worried about getting in my way....
No hassles, no visits with the local constabulary, no officious persons
telling me to move on.
A very pleasant experience, even if the pictures werem't the greatest.
