So, I went out shooting tonight. I drove all the way out to DIA, Denver International Airport, to shoot the blue demon horse.
It has an interesting history in and of itself. It killed its maker before it was finished, there was an outcry from the locals because of its hellish appearance... I'm not going to go into that tonight because I'm a tad upset.
I got run off from my shoot by the cops.
Yup, I had barely gotten my cigar lit and my tripod set up when The Fuzz showed up and quite abruptly told me that I couldn't park off on the side of the road.
I got five shots off. Spent money on gas and toll roads for five shots. Damnit.
I wasn't in the mood to argue with him. Being unemployed means Emily would have to pawn my camera for bail money if it got heated. That's IF she would bail me out. When we got married, she explained there would be certain circumstances, should they occur, she would not bail me out of jail. Why roll the dice for five shots?
Here's the best. I hadn't even dialed my settings in yet. Grrrrr....
I was waiting for it to get dark enough for the airport structure behind him act as a back light. Had a whole bunch of ideas for this.
Be sure you click on the picture once or twice to see it in a larger format and so he can steal your soul....er...disregard that last part...
This ain't over by a sight, copper. I'll park in a lot and hoof it in next time. I got a couple of buddies that would LOVE to make it front page news if the cops stop me from taking pictures in a public venue.

ReplyDeleteIf you get thrown in jail, let me in on the action. I am waiting for somebody to arrest me for taking a photograph in a public place. By the way, the secret is to shoot when there is nobody around. I shot the NC State Capital at night without a peep from anybody (although a few suspicious characters did make me wonder about if my camera would take the impact if I had to swing it at them). Go read my blog on photographers rights with links. January 31st. (Need to get to work on it also.) http://www.hldphotos.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteWill do.
ReplyDeleteWhen I go into less than upstanding areas with my camera, I pack heat.
My Glock says, "No, you can't have this camera."
