The workshops I have participated in were mostly within National Forest Service lands, and the organizers had the proper permits. I wouldn't take a workshop with anyone who was not following the rules, any more than I would buy firewood from someone cutting in a National Forest without a permit.
If I go onto NFS land and take photos for my personal use, nobody is going to question it before, during, or after. People need to take a deep breath and go back to worrying about FF cameras. stan On Sep 24, 2014, at 6:07 PM, Darren Addy <[email protected]> wrote: > I can perhaps understand the rationale for film crews, but the still > photography requirement is SILLY, IMHO: > http://petapixel.com/2014/09/24/us-forest-service-proposes-controversial-expensive-photo-permit-rules/#more-146255 > > The article above links to the Federal Parks Service comment page, if > anyone is interested in having their voice heard. > > It strikes me as very odd that an environmentalist like Ansel Adams > might be precluded from photographing in Yosemite (if he were alive > today) when it was his photographs that helped spur the care and > conservation of our National Parks (and in some cases, the creation of > NEW parks) by bringing their stunning beauty to the public's > consciousness. > > > -- > Photographers must learn not to be ashamed to have their photographs > look like photographs. > ~ Alfred Stieglitz > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
