I think that makes a difference. Go somewhere with your compact camera or mobile phone camera and people won't bat an eyelid. Get your SLR out however and people start noticing.

One rule for them and another for the rest of us by the sounds of it.

Mind you, I'd taken about 50 or so by that stage, including this one, my favourite: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pete_c/1479895760/sizes/l/ I’ve been stopped from taking pictures in Paddington Station, the guy said it was private property which I can believe.

Apparently i was paying "Too much attention" to the building, because your average tourist just comes and goes, looked like a pro because "because of my camera" and that the building was "copyrighted". He reluctantly believed that was only an amateur, i had bit of a laugh with him but pretty much told him to piss off. But i've done alot of photography around London and the Underground and have never any problem apart from this one very minor incident. I even had Tube workers walk right past me when i was shooting and they did not blink an eye at me!! I had a run in with a security guard at the Lloyds building, London when i was there in April.

Walking the streets of Cork, it’s rare to see a member of the police force

Walk down Oxford street and you’ll often find more police than busses

Luckly for me I was dismissed after being advised it was not legal to photograph the police
