Skyline from Alexandra Palace - a photo on Flickriver

Skyline from Alexandra Palace

I was told off (nicely, mind you) by a security guard and told I needed a permit for night photography from the grounds of the palace itself. Total crap. Other people were taking photographs on point-and-shoot equipment and yet they target the girl with a tripod.

This part of the palace's grounds are easily accessible from a main road at all times of the day and night and people are around into the early hours sometimes. It's a popular spot. While it is private property there is absolutely no threat from someone taking a photograph of the view and it's pretty much a given that staying in this one part of the grounds isn't going to cause any fuss.

You could have sworn that tripods were baby-eating monsters from the way that people react to them.
