    I'm an amateur street photographer (film). Been doing it for 30-odd years on and off. I find that if I am out with a smallish, discreet camera, I have no issues, even with street photography (photographing people). If I have a largish camera, as you say, it's more prominent and you get jumpy people, but still few problems arise. This problem has always existed, and I've always taken it in my stride with no big problems or dramas; but I worry that "auditing" is having a 'poisoning the well' effect and making things worse. Some people (on both sides) have a narcissistic frame of mind and enjoy being the 'star' of their own little drama.

    Stephen showing off his big one, oo-er, missis. What gets me is people seemingly photographing everything like their food and of course there is instant replay. My dad was a great photographer but he wasn't always taking pictures, just a few scenic shots although when I came to sort out his colour slides there were loads of clouds or trees against the sky, birds, flowers etc.

      as autistic guy find all the humans and their moods vs vainity - confusing, sensitive of people with cameras like OPs taking pictures ( lot time innocent ) but many say don't batter an eye lid if people around them use smart mobiles or themselves taking lot of shots of themselves - often uploading their %%^%^ on to social media. They even allow their children (seen some young as 4) using Smart mobiles, even though they are too young to use them or not safe with them, e.g., headaches / eye strain over use, risk of tripping, etc

    Thanks Stephen. I can honestly say I have been taking photos with zoom lenses for well over forty years and I have never had any problems. I was taking photos once and had a visit from the police as the subject (military) was deemed to be of a sensitive nature, but once I explained my reasons to the officer he was satisfied I was not a security risk and wished me a good day. But apart from that I have never been approached by anyone or asked not to take pictures, and that is across 8 countries including the UK.

    You hit the nail on the head Stephen. Ask first if you get the feeling someone or an organisation are jumpy.

      Yes in public spot on but On Private property like Pier, Rail station, Pleasure Beach Park ( if we could afford the excessive entry fee) you are on their land, sign up to their T&C's (merely being on their land ) and they have right to object within reason to acts they deem unsavoury / going against their wishes, or lot of venues now don't like Bloggers / Photographers may be making money of their assets within their land / view points, e.g., On North Pier looking out to Lake District (in distance) - probably knock sales of their post cards of same view, etc.

    Thanks for another interesting video. I have a few stories too. Once, I went to photograph an event in Mersey Square, Stockport, with an already old Canon DSLR (10 megapixel). I hadn’t realised that Mersey Square (the main shopping area in Stockport centre) is an fact a ‘private place'. Security soon descended on me - politely, I add. They said I’d need to get a press pass from the property office. Which I did, with no difficulty. Chatting with the manager, I asked why I was singled out when there were hundreds of people using phones, some of them quite high-end. She replied that there were so many that they couldn’t stop them and were probably just for home consumption but it was easy to spot a ‘professional camera' like mine.
    Incidentally, the camera I had was aimed at the amateur market and I was taking photos for a personal project.

    this is why I have to be careful choosing my photography weapon of choice. I have the usual phone cameras (now with a lavelier mic because I can), 2 identical camcorders because one was for filming local events and when I had the money to do so, I bought myself an identical model for keeping the format the same, a 4k camera with hotshoe mic port which people get nervous about because of the mic, a couple of handydandy bridge cameras - because, why not? and two bodycams because sometimes, the less people see, the better.
    yet, nobody bats an eyelid until you weild out the 'big gear' and suddenly, everyone thinks you're filming just them and start acting weirdly enough to draw attention and everyone films them and because it's a phone, nobody bats an eyelid......................................................
    yup - people are weird!!
    which is why I prefer to be behind the camera. it makes an awesome mask 😀
    some of the stuff on my own channel comes from local events where I was invited along to get 'snap happy' and all that good stuff. I've got form for being something of a local 'digital archivist' and it's paying off at long last! everyone focusses on themselves, their kids, their families, the stuff they buy/win/eat/drink - I'm there to document the event - who was there, anything amusing, the weather, and just like yourself - the things that go on that, if you weren't there to document it, who would?

    I am a gig photographer myself, I use a Nikon D6 to take pictures and I am used to the whole "asking for permission" thing.
    If I want to cover a concert I have to reach out to the bands publicist and request consent, mostly its fine (but some make you sign a contract), but you get to wear a sticker that says "PHOTO" on it, a lot of people wanted selfies with me at a Shania Twain gig.
    Sometimes I get a no however, Bob Dylan for example has not allowed any togs into his shows for over 40 years and you have to put your phone into a Yondr pouch, but I was photographing Foo Fighters this year, and I'm shooting Keane in a couple of days.
    You have to be working for an outlet too, whether thats an online publisher, an agency or a newspaper, you can't just go to them as a freelancer, unless there are a smaller band, if its for someone like Alice Cooper the chances of getting a pass are slim.

    When I was a kiddo my dad had a fabulous collection of Canon cameras and accessories, I think he had 20 different kinds, for the life of me I can't remember what models they were, but they were advanced for their time (around the early 1990s). He also had around 5 different JVC and Sony tape camcorders, and he would lug all this equipment as he needed it everywhere around the country, and parts of Europe. The only worries he had was constantly having to keep an eye on it all to stop it getting stolen. Several attempts were made, especially in places like Italy. He took tremendous footage and photos of different events. Fast forward my dad died 4 years ago, and I've no idea where all his equipment and collections went, other than I heard he sold it all.

    Some good points. We have the same at Birmingham City Centre. It is all private and the same applies with phones, you can sneak some shots using them but the second a large camera appears security are on you like a ton of bricks. However, you can apply (and it is normally allowed) for a permit to film in the area at a specific time/date, but, (the main point being) the normal everyday shopper/visitor is not aware of the fact it is private and I have heard a few tales of encounters between photographers and the security mob. My normal policy is that if a place is private, game over I will not take a single shot unless something has been pre-arranged. At times I have been contacted by land/business owners asking if I took some photo's could I send them copies, er NO. They do not exist and if they did I would charge for them. It is a very grey area but I try to find if a place is private, if so and if I cannot avoid it I try to contact whoever is in charge to get permission/permit/pass etc prior to going.

    The problem with filming is the owners of the place where you are. Some locations (St Pancras Station in London springs to mind) charge a fee for filming. And it's not cheap either! It can be hundreds and sometimes thousands of pounds just for a few hours.
    My personal take on it would be filming is publicity and when you have a business publicity is generally a good thing. So it's in a place's interests (particularly a tourist venue) to actively encourage filming.
    In those places you're not allowed to film, it makes me wonder what they're scared of your camera capturing?

    I can understand not permitting tripods in some areas as they could be seen as a trip hazard. For some reason however, SLR cameras say "professional photographer" and they don't want to be seen supporting commercial activities. The legality is if you are private property on areas such like the piers, although a lot of "auditors" on TH-cam seem to want to attract interest for views. You are a professional photographer with a rather good TH-cam channel so are not in the business of causing annoyance.
    From a professional point of view, as a Chartered Surveyor I have to take lots of photos of buildings and property, but I always confirm I can and that I won't capture anyone's face or any other personal data for GDPR. Saying that, some sites to not permit photos for security reasons so I have to state this in the report and general have to write more words to describe what I've seen.

    I remember when I was looking at cameras, in the Jessops shop in the Trafford Centre. The sales dude and I would take a camera outside, to test by taking a photo of the mall.
    Along comes Mr Security. "You can't use cameras in here. I'm going to have to confiscate it."
    Literally, right outside the camera shop. We just laughed at him and went back inside. He waited around outside for a while talking to someone on his radio, then wandered off himself.
    This would have been around 2009, and I decided on a Nikon, thus starting my love affair with Nikon cameras.
