Actually it's not all that uncommon. Years ago my friend and I were attempting to get pictures of an ICI pharmaceuticals plant at night for the night-school photography course we were doing - you know, all pretty lights and smoking chimneys. We were on the pavement of a public road in England, yet ICI security were all over us in minutes. They politely listened to our story and then equally politely told us to bugger off - I am sure they had no case in law, but who wants to spend the evening arguing with the police down at the station, etc, etc? This was all way, way before 9/11 - security then were more worried about animal rights activists (and maybe the IRA?) than anything else. Ob Pentax bit: I was using an ME Super. My friend had a Ricoh KR-10. Chris
