I think they both just realized the girl's face-paint job seemed to make her awfully familiar-looking.

He works out of his home at Ripon in Yorkshire. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Mostly, the view is the back of people. Not too good standing in front of them since they are using live ammo. The shooting is scored on time minus misses, so the person standing behind this shooter is timing him. http://tonycooper.smugmug.com/photos...fLmj27p-X3.jpg In another area was a group of people taking instruction on modern small weapons from an instructor. I took a couple of snaps and the instructor came over and said "No photographs allowed". My answer was the short form: "Bull****". I was far behind them with a 200mm lens and out of ear range of the shutter click, so I wasn't disturbing anything. The instructor got shirty with me and said it was against the law to take a photograph of someone without their permission. This made me laugh. He had an NRA patch on his shirt, so I asked him how he would feel if I started making up laws about guns. He just turned and walked away. The subject matter wasn't interesting, so I left after just a couple of snaps. What gets me the most is the hypocrisy of the instructor. There is no group in this country that spends more time, energy, and money to ensure that their right to pursue their own hobby is not abridged than gun owners who are in the NRA. Yet, this guy wanted to deny me my right to pursue my own hobby. The little would-be tyrant: Regardless, if someone doesn't want there picture taken I think their wishes should be respected. YMMV I completely agree with you. So does Tony. IIRC somewhere in this thread he said he would not take someone's picture if asked not to. In this case I understand the NRA guy ws tell him no pictures of anybody was allowed. Where Tony Cooper and I disagree is that I will ask, implicitly or explicity. In the case of a child I will not shoot without asking the supervising adult if it is OK. [Jerry] No one has mentioned the issue of GEOTAGGING. Altho your Nikon D40 doesn't have GPS built in there is a GPS unit available for it.... and in general the range officer wouldn't know if GPS tagging was being used. The NRA may not want the location of their private shooting range broadcast all over the Internet by EXIF geotags in digital pictures. When it comes to guns they certainly have reason to be cautious nowadays. In general I think geotagging has raised a whole new issue on the legality of photographing unsuspecting subjects.. |

[Jerry] The EXIF files on your photos viewed with IrfanView says one of the pics was shot with a Nikon D40 and two of them shot with a Nikion D60... probably an IrfanView glitch... most likely all 3 shot with a D60 on 2011:9:11 about 11:44:56 There is nothing wrong with geotagging. [Jerry] That's what you think, but increasingly television reports are mentioning stalking, burgleries, home invasions and sex crimes enabled by Internet posted pics containing geotags. I've taken to cleaning all photos of geotags before forwarding them by email or posting them. Most instances of crime are caused by people with smartphones who forget or don't know how to shut off the geotagging switch. |

You do realize that the locations of 99.9% of accessible ranges are well documented? ttp://www.wheretoshoot.org/Find_Range/ I have never shot with a D40 in my life.

Here is a GPS tagged image for you to play with. Perhaps you would care to have a gang of thieves rush off to that location to steal the item depicted. http://homepage.mac.com/lco/filechute/P38-5400fEWcw.jpg There is nothing wrong with geotagging. [Jerry] That's what you think, but increasingly television reports are mentioning stalking, burgleries, home invasions and sex crimes enabled by Internet posted pics containing geotags. Where are all these reports of geotag facilitated images from the internet? Please cite. I've taken to cleaning all photos of geotags before forwarding them by email or posting them. That's nice. However that is your paranoia not ours. Most instances of crime are caused by people with smartphones who forget or don't know how to shut off the geotagging switch. "Most instances of crime"?? Sir, you know not of which you speak. After 25 years in Law enforcement I have yet to investigate of have any of my currently active acquaintances in Law enforcement educate me as to the trend you fear. Perhaps you could enlighten us as to where you are getting this information. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Several errors in your statement: It was a public range [Jerry] Oh What makes you think the NRA has private shooting ranges. [Jerry] Just a guess intuitively obvious t a casual observer. If you read the posts, I stated that it is a public range on county-owned property that is primarily used by the various police departments in the county. Anyone can rent range use for the day if a range is available. The instructor rented range use. The instructor is a member of NRA according to the patch he had on his shirt, but he is not an employee of the NRA. He just pays money to belong. Anyone can join the NRA. I have never shot with a D40 in my life. [Jerry] The EXIF files on your photos viewed with IrfanView says one of the pics was shot with a Nikon D40 and two of them shot with a Nikion D60... probably an IrfanView glitch... most likely all 3 shot with a D60 on 2011:9:11 about 11:44:56 The EXIF is correct. I have a D60 and a D40 body. When I go to something like this, I have the 18-55 mounted on one body and the 55-200 on the other body. I use whichever camera suits the shot. That's much easier than switching lenses. Awhile back, I took some test shots with a Tamron 18-270, but wasn't pleased with the results. It would be nice to have one lens with that kind of range. There is nothing wrong with geotagging. [Jerry] That's what you think, but increasingly television reports are mentioning stalking, burgleries, home invasions and sex crimes enabled by Internet posted pics containing geotags. I've taken to cleaning all photos of geotags before forwarding them by email or posting them. Most instances of crime are caused by people with smartphones who forget or don't know how to shut off the geotagging switch. Had those photographs been geotagged, all you would know was the location at which they were taken. That's about an hour with light Sunday traffic from my house, and who knows where the other subjects live. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |
