I recently shot skylines at dawn from Brooklyn just next to the bridge. No
problems. Did, however, get the boot from shooting Lincoln Memorial from
Washington Monument with Rollei 6008 on tripod. No tripods apparently on
any National Park ground in downtown D.C. right now. They're apparently
quite serious, as a cop tore up to me right across the grass. I was
embarrassed, but I suppose I understand. Missile launchers also mount to
tripods. Tough gig right now. Best to wait for a while.
Cheers,
Rick
P.S. You can actually get some shots of ground zero with long glass. You
can get within about 2 blocks. I found, however, once I got there that I
didn't feel much like shooting.

Myself and two frinds where shooting the city skline midtoen from Queens
this afternoon.
My frinds were working with view camera myself handheld pan camera Noblex.
A cop told my frinds that they can not take photos of the city skyline now
because of security. They could not see my camera.
I do not know if this is a new thing or the cop thought ny frinds were
planning a war.
If this is true this is to much. You can buy hundreds of photos of midtown
or use a smale camera or take photos frome the highrise apt house in back of
us. this makes me sick.
