Having said that, I did notice the flag over the White House was flying at half-mast, perhaps signifying the recent death of our Constitution. |

Even in a photography newsgroup. 8 The security around the white House has always been tight. I remember trying to take a long exposure night shot of the back side of the White house back in the early 1980's. I barely got the tripod set up and the Secret Service told me to leave or they would take my camera and tripod. They are worse today but even 20+ years security was very high. |

He wouldn't have been allowed to take those tripod shots on the other side of the street, near the fence. |

Do they let you steady your camera against the fence? You can take quick hand held shots near, and at, the fence at the rear of the White house. Set up a tripod and you'll get company real quick telling you to move on. Why this is the case I don't know. The Secret Service agents aren't a chatty bunch so I didn't even ask why when they approached me 20+ years ago. My guess is they don't want anyone staying there for an extended period of time or maybe there is a specific threat that involves a tripod. A monopod would probably work as long as you didn't linger too long but my guess is you would only get one or two shots before getting lectured. You can take your time at the front of the White House but you are much further away from the structure. In the rear you are probably less than 100' from the building. I remember being able to drive in the front and back sides. Now the streets are closed with permanent barricades erected. Security in DC is much more serious since 911 and I wouldn't even think about arguing with ANY security personnel. They will cart you away and let the details get sorted out at the DC jail. BTW, the DC jail IS NOT a place you would want to visit. |
