elaborate please...
anybody have personal experience? i realize i am walking into the nations capitol with a camera and that it might, ok, it probably will, be suspicious. i, however, am usually pretty good with officials, but not defying their orders (BAD idea).
i am planning to maybe take a trip there, but not if the first thing i hear will be "put that camera away" or else that whole trip will be much less worthwhile.
i have brought a video camera in there on a couple past occasions. the time i used it a lot in the station was in 2003, during the 60% off acela sale on 2118 (basically a we-are-discounting-this-train-because-it-is-a-late-train-that-makes-every-stop train: new carrolton, BWI, baltimore, wlimington, philadelphia, trenton, metropark, newark, and new york). i went way out of the way (coming home from new york to philadelphia) to do it, and nobody stopped me and my hulking video camera (my old one)
i take my camera and video camera on a lot of trains, and have only been stopped a couple times, normally times i would only be restricted a little bit by the request. people just stop me less than others, dunno why.
nonetheless, times have changes, and i would appreciate it if anybody can share their experience with photography lately.
