And don't forget Senator Harry Reid. 
Former Senator Harry Reid grew up and lived in Searchlight, however I don't think he lived at Walking Box Ranch. At least the docent didn't mention that during the tour I took. Reid and the Mrs. now live in Las Vegas.

I have been challenged a couple of times by security while taking pictures of buildings with a P&S. They weren't 'sensitive' or Government buildings. One was a new unoccupied office building and the other was at the Mall. They were just a couple of quick shots - no elaborate set-up or prowling around the building. The Mall security guy tried to demand that I delete the pictures that I had taken.
By law, if you are on public property, i.e. sidewalk, street, etc. you cannot be stopped from talking photos of buildings, groups of people, etc. You can be asked not to photograph say celebrities on a restaurant deck or store property. Taking photos of children in public can be an issue, therefore ask parents, guardians first. Use of tripods and/or reflectors or cameras with long lens signal to security that you are a "professional" photographer and therefore not allowed to take photos without written permission and/or paying a special fee. Tripods represent tripping hazards to the general public - use of monopods less so. And no police officer, security guard or mall cop can confiscate your camera or make you delete your photos. Taking photos inside or outside a mall is taking photos of private property while standing on private property. And one can legally photograph police in action from your front yard, public street, alley or sidewalk just so long as you do not interfer with the police doing their job. The police may not like you photo/videoing them, but that is your right. Know all this seems frustrating in light of the cell phone photographers doing much the same without any hassle. Guess this is what we get for being true photographers. P.S. That said it is always wise to know the rules and regulations regarding taking photos in your city, state or area - or those you plan on visiting, to be safe.

That’s interesting because I’ve never had a problem at Stanford University before. I’ve taken pictures exactly where you were at the Gates of Hell with a tripod, never had an issue. I was there a few years back with Trey Rattclif when we had over 200 photographers many with tripods and no one stopped us. I wonder if things changed.
Perhaps Trey Rattcliff or someone else has secured premission prior to events. Seems likely due to the number of people, and some using tripods.

Whether you like the D850 strap or not, why advertise you're carrying a $3200 camera plus lens on your shoulder? There are those who just love to do a grab and run with your new gear. Plus, there's a reason Nikon puts its name and camera type on a their strap. Free advertising! Better safe than sorry.

Nice photo -perhaps would have ask her to remove hand from head as it's casting shadow on face. Maybe move hand uo onto forehead, on her cheek or rest chin on hand. Or maybe the lighting was hurting her eyes.

[quote=Terrymac]Great in download. What are the lights to the left and center. Thanks.[/quote
Assume you are referring to group of lights in lower left quad - those are a grouping of medical buildings.
The dark image in center is a hospital.

Need to remove airplane lights from right side and maybe use PS to try and pull some detail out of moon. Other than that I'm happy with this shot. What do you think? Download. C&C welcome.

The iconic Mormon Barn, and quite possibly the most photographed building in America, is for sale. It sits on 1 acre of land being offered for development at $5 million, according to OUTSIDEONLINE.COM. We need to save this building - along with other sructures just up the road. How many of us have photographed Mormon Barn?
