This seems to have a good discussion about the rights of photographers in public.
While I respect the photographer’s advocacy, I believe he went there with the intention of being confronted. I don’t know about you guys, but I generally don’t go out shooting with a hidden camera.
I understand that while the cop was just there to do his job, he is rather ignorant of the photographer’s rights. The photographer could’ve been friendly and swallowed his pride a bit and answered the cop’s questions and informed him about photographers’ rights and have avoided the scandal.
Dean Collins is a renowned photographer. He taught advanced lighting classes during the 80s and apparently, he’s one guy who knows how to use the different gear they had back then and he understood how light works. His lectures are pretty much scattered in Youtube and they are still very much applicable in this day and age. Of all the videos, what got my attention is his take on digital photos, manipulation, and stock photos. This was shot in 1998 and most, if not all, are pretty accurate.
Funny how I almost forgot about this time-lapse photography I did when we went to Punta de Uian in Zambales for the first time. I used an intervalometer and set my camera on a tripod and left it at the roof for about an hour. I would’ve gone longer with it but due to time constraints and fatigue, I had to stop the camera.

Too bad I don’t have the means and the resources to get this DVD cheaply. The cost of the shipping is more than that of the DVD itself so I don’t think that it is a good idea. However, this DVD, I believe is a very good lighting resource. Judging from the sample images and teaser, this is something that no photographer should pass up.
