I'll be at Pickering tomorrow, Saturday to photograph the 1940s re-enactment events. The base there seems to be the railway station so you can combine steam trains with people in period costumes.
Along the track there is the remote station at Levisham, reached along a minor moorland road from the main Whitby-Pickering road. Grosmont is a good place for photos(that's where the TV police show Heartbeat is based) and the railway's headquarters at Goathland is well worth a visit. Between these places its possible to find good tackside locations.
Might see you there Carl, I'll be with a bunch of mainly Nikon and Canon users from Durham Photographic Society.

Just do it, but be considerate to others, and humble if you are queried by a member of staff. I suspect that a lot of the confrontations we hear about are partly due to the attitude of the photographer. But the worst possible thing you could do is ask permission. You think Japanese tourists write for permission? No, because you are a visitor to London, and it's perfectly normal to want to take pictures wherever you go.
I agree with this. If you are not aware of the comfort zone of other passengers you may uspet them more than the authorities.
As for being told to delete your images when challenged by staff that should never happen.
Civilian staff must call the police if they are suspicious of anyone's behaviour and experienced police would never tell to you delete your pictures. If you were really up to no good the memory card would be vital evidence. An officer would be within his rights to ask to view your images though.

David, so was that a shaft of sunlight?
Its not a shaft of light, just the area where the sun got through between high buildings.

Tripod? tripod? John Riley has already had to warn someone in another thread about the use of bad language.

That's the way the traffic lights were so I left them on the lean. The no turn sign is part of the picture for me so it stays.
The context: Its in the city centre at Newcastle, what used to be called Swan House roundabout. The coloured walls in the background make a wonderful backdrop, I've done quite a few shots using them in different contexts. Thanks for all the comments and suggestions.
