[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Hugh Jampton</i> <br /><br />My advice: Stay away from Spain, even before the bombings train photography of any kind, even tryin to take a picture of the missus in a station brings a number of law enforcement officers running, all of them shouting; NO PHOTO!!! NO PHOTO!!, and don't even think of trying to take a picture of an actual train as they will quickly arrest you. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Interesting to hear that - may explain why Spain is poorly-covered by the internet rail photo sites. I've railfanned in France a few times, however not since 9/11. Before then you used to get odd looks but I guess they must be used to people taking photographs of the TGVs by now, and I never got hassled. It's not just trains either - if I take a photo of a ship or dock area now (another interest of mine) I take care to do so very quietly and without advertising my presence, also making sure that I'm stood in a public area. If anyone's about, the camera goes away. I've rather taken to using a camera phone - only 1 megapixel but after you learn how to use it you can get some pretty good shots, certainly good enough for modelling purposes.
