there are some countries where you are not allowed to take photos in public... (Saudi, etc....)
what do you guys do? i mean, how do you handle situations especially when there is a moment worth being captured but you being seen with your long telephoto lens might stir up an argument... especially if the one you're taking photos isn't in the mood...
especially knowing that there are some laws in photography against taking photos without permission...
i remember when i was in Saudi... was into long exposure that time, and i really needed to hide, just to take a photo of a building... may kasamang kaba at suspense kase the moment the police catches you taking photos, kulong ka....
i like taking candid shots, coz' only in that way you can capture a perfect moment...
what i usually do is keep my lens in a small bag, pull it out quick once i see something interesting...
sometimes i walk with tourists, pretending that im also one, lol... so i could take all the photos i want... trigger happy :lol:
meron na ba inaway dito or dinemanda? share your stories :-D
-
Parang ang hirap kasi kung magpa-paalam ka. Ang tendency is masira ang moment. Po-pose na sila. Maganda nga yung ma-capture mo yung "moment" na yun. Hindi pako nakaka-encounter ng may nang-away sakin after ko sila picturan without them knowing it. Minsan pa nga hihingi pa ng isa yung nakapose naman sila, hehehe.

yup... :lol: mismo...
i like taking pictures of lovers, kids, and emotions... sa atin buhay na buhay ang photojournalism, sa dami ba naman ng subjects sa kalye...
i hope some can post here photos ng mga kuha nila sa street... yung candid lang ha :-D
bilib ako sa mga shots ng pulubi, rally, at kung anu anu pa...
-
Jentsen, sa totoo lang ang daming bawal sa Saudi. :lol:
Kahapon sinita kami twice ng guards sa Taguig. They did it corteously, so we were polite to them in return. Swerte namin halos tapos na kami magshoot. Nakakainis lang na ang daming bawal, but rules are rules. :-)

yaw ko na banggitin, since nandito na ko sa Singapore... but hell yeah, sobrang dami... halos bilanggo ako sa bansang iyon, though i respect that country...
masaya mag shoot sa parks, playgrounds, kaso ang iba iisipin pedophile ka... :lol:
-
Yeah. I respect the country too. I spent 10 years (pretty much my whole childhood) there. :lol:
Yun nga yung mahirap dun, if you take pictures of kids iba talaga iisipin nila.

just finished shooting sa book na ginawa namin for a politician, about sa different places around QC area. mahirap, nakakadisturb ang pag pic sa mga places na kahit in public e bawal kuhanan. guards usually ask for permits pag nakita ka nila.
iglesia ni cristo church sa commonwealth ave ang isa sa pinakamahirap kuhanan. pabalik balik kami dito para makakuha ng magandang angle kasi ang hirap magtago sa mga guard. e my mga guard pa sa overpass malapit dun pati barangay tanod na iglesia at tatanungin ka. pag nahuli ka nila di ka nila papaalisin hanggat di mo binubura yung mga picture na kinuha mo (unless syempre pag ok naman yung reason mo and my permit ka for taking pictures). eventually nagkaron kami ng permit from the politician, and kahit my permit na, they still dont allow na pumasok kami sa loob, sa labas lang kmi pinakuhanan. sobra higpit.
sa mga malls naman and new places like sa technohub commonwealth, (maganda dito pag gabi hehe) bawal din kumuha ng pic. kasi daw kahit na open for public yung place, private pa din daw yung may ari which is ayala lands. pero nag tip yung guard, pag may kasama daw na model o tao dun sa pic, ok na ok lang daw mag picture hehe kaya we ended up being models in our own shots. :-)
-
Saan ba kumukuha ng permit for taking pictures? Iniisip ko sa dami na ng mga photographer ngayon baka pati ito gawan na ng tax ng gobyerno baka gawin nila hindi ka pwedeng kumuha ng pictures kapag wala kang permit at kailangan mag-bayad ka sa kanila. Hay, sana hindi mangyari yun.

share ko lang..
way back pa to, when i was starting my journey in photography. me and my bandmates went to MOA, gamit ko pa nun was a Yashica Electro 35 GSN and a Canonet QL17 and a tripod. Ok naman feel na feel ko pa ang pag shoot. Then i saw some photographers din dala mga DSLR nila and tripods and their backpacks, mejo umuulan nun so they have to cover yung cams nila and ako din. so yun lakad shoot lang. then i saw this part sa likod ng moa na may slide tas daming naglalarong bata sabi ko aba ok to. nilagay ko tripod ko pinatong ko yung cam, sumilip sa view finder "aba ok tong spot na to" nung pipindutin ko na may kumalabit sa balikat ko. "si, may kasama po ba kayu?" si manong guard tinatanung ako, di ko pa sure kung anu ba talga tanung niya, sabi ko "huh?" "sabi nia may anak po ba kayu jan?" sabi ko "wala mag pipicture lang" sabi nia "ay sir di po pwede" so nag tanung ako kuung bakit? sabi nia "public po kasi to bawal mag picture." that statement shocked me considering ang daming photographers nun. tas sakto dumaan bandmates ko hawak nila phone ko nun N90 pa nun so mukhang digi cam, ngayun i asked manong guard "oh eh bat sila pwede?" sabi nia sakin "sakanila kasi maliit sayu malaki" uminit ulo ko.. "sabi ko huh? una sasabihin mo sakin public place to then malaki camera ko, kung public place to pasara niyo to para walang taong makapasok dito." "ang daming photographers na nadaanan mo at kasama mo ako lang sinisita mo?" inawat na ako ng mga bandmates ko, thats the worst so far :P
-
true... maglabas ka lang ng dslr, lalo na mahaba lens mo, pagtitinginan ka na ng mga tao...
-
ganun talaga sir, feeling nila pag nakadslr e tiga media na. ang alam ko lang kasi talaga sa public places pwede talagang kuhanan dyan, unless kung my private place sa isang public na lugar, like houses or apartments.
mahabang proceso ang pag kuha ng permit. dadaan ka pa sa cityhall ng lugar na kukunan mo.

ever since 9-11,

exactly. its like they associate dslr cams to trigger bombs or anything connected with spying.

ser, sa situation na to ang labo talaga nung guard. Madalas sa mga sekyu makakita lang ng camera sisitahin ka na talaga. I've been to events na sinusurrender ang mga dslr's and pinapalampas yung mga point and shoot. Which is a lot of crap. people aren't allowed to take better pictures now? Well minsan naman nakakalusot ako. nasa diskarte na lang din minsan
At alam ko it's legal to take pictures and videos in public places. lalo na kapag facades, kapag mula sa street ka naman magshoshoot. masyado lang maarte ibang municipalities and private companies. pero yung shooting children in parks, hindi ko pa nasubukan. takot din mapagbintangang pedo. haha!

oo nga totoo to.
hindi b nila naisip n photography is hobby also?welll ndi ntin cla masisi kung yun ung opinion nila.
try nalang nten ipaliwanag sakanila. :mrgreen:

my experience shooting in public, sa may bay walk area... pwede ka kumuha, pero bawal ang gumamit ng tripod :? what is up with that?
-
nung sabado ko lang nalaman na kelangan pala ng permit pag nag prenup ka sa walled area sa intramuros! grabe mga guardia sibil talagang gguardiyahan ka e.
-
Inaassume ko nalang lagi na hindi ko alam ung mga patakaran nila and represent an innocent face at any point they police me shooting. Nakukuha naman sa ngiti at pasensya na sir. No use arguing with guards, they're taught what to do and even when they're not best at it, they still have the last say on the implementation, so just let it be.

I got in trouble last night.
I took shots of the 7-11 store in downtown star ferry and one of the staff came out and told me off, i got angry and took a shot of her and walked off. She grabbed me and started shouting. Next thing i know the bus drivers came out for her defense then a big guy looking like a local triad thug grabbed me by the neck.
I trembled with fear inside.
Took a big gulp of beer and collected myself. I signaled the thug to let me go coz i aint runnin.
I kept it cool, ive been thru this before...they called 999, the local emergency number.
Cops came with sirens blaring....HILARIOUS.
I demanded they call an ambulance pretending i got hurt when they grabbed me.
Usual ID check and all. They demanded me to delete the photos...all the photos i took of the shop.
I said talk to my lawyer so they just looked and the staff girl 7-11 demanded her photos be deleted.
I did coz i was tired of arguing but only her photo.
I showed her a photo of her store selling beer to underage girls and her eyes started welling up with tears.
Still the cops just ignored it, i dont know what they were talking about, maybe she just go told off.

And they let me go, i was cautious coz the local thugs might still be after me, cops are useless against them.
Lesson learned, ill stay away from the star ferry for a month or two.

@pallas: saan to bro? kakatakot... i've been taking stolen shots here sa Singapore, buti wala pa ko na encounter na ganyan, pero your situation kase is very sensitive, lalo na you can use the photos as proof para maisara yung store...
when i was in SAUDI, taking photos in public is illegal... lalo na pag kinunan mo babae, baka ikulong at i rape ka pa ng mga Arabo, and the will even break your cam...
-
ang hirap...
di mo alam kung magagalit ung kukunan mo... at ang dami bawal sa mundo...

yan din ang di ko maintindihan.. baket pde ang camera phone, ang gigicam, pero ang slr di pwede.. though quality lang at size ang pinagkaiba nila...
nangyari din sake yan dito sa serendra at mckinley hils at sa moa din.. pwede daw may kasama ako na kakilala sa picture pero kung ala model, bawal. baket? basta daw bawal.. since ala naman ako mapapala sbe nga nung isang forumer, so i humbly make an apology. pinakita ko shot ko (noob lang) then binura ko sa harapan nia. then nung pagtalikod ko, sabe nia, sir wait lang, kung gusto mo talaga kumuha ng pic, kuha ka ng permit doon (sabay turo sa lugar) madali lang naman daw kumuha nun.. sabe ko, maraming salamat... just got frustrated lang kasi bago pa cam ko nun first ko magshoot outdoor.. kaya ang teknik, pagnakakita ng "moment", hanap ka ng guard, pag ala. setup ng mabilis then shoot.. mahirap nga lang pag mag LE ka.. hehehe... tulad duns a baywalk na bawal ang tripod??? balak ko pa naman mag praktis ng sunset dun.. hays... :-(
-
^^ Bakit bawal??? newbie din ako.. balak ko din pumunta sa baywalk para mag praktis :x
lahat talaga ng masarap pinag babawal nila.. :x

I was surprised when we went to Quiapo for a photo walk. I was kinda hesitant nung una kasi baka holdapin ako. But surprisingly, the people there were really nice. Sila pa yung po-pose para sayo, hahahaha! I really enjoyed my Quiapo photo walk.
