Have you ever heard of the saying "one ah shit wipes out ten atta boys"? Everytime a photographer ignores common sense, ten other photographers will pay. I was raised on a ranch, and cannot even begin to tell you all of the trespass stories over the years. If it is not your land, you don't set foot on it. . .period! I can never understand what makes a person think that they can just up and trespass on another man's land without first asking.
No photograph is worth it. If you think that it is, drive in, introduce yourself and ask. You might be surprised by the warm greeting that you receive because you showed some respect. . .hell, you might even make a new friend.
This is great advise..I often have wondered about doing just that and never had the courage. Im usually doing drive buys on the back of the bike and worry enough about that. I mean in some cases it is an identifiable property.
My husbands family had a farm and strangely the concerns around that territory where Hot Air Balloons...You can imagine the damage a landing can do in a field of soy or corn, and you would not want to imagine it if shots were fired.
Still that is a GREAT story and good reason to get a bigger zoom so you can stay on the road.

I am a noob to the forum and have finally gotten up courage to post an image and ask for C&C. The story behind the shots fired and this picture is that while I was in the field taking some pictures of the farm equipment and hay, the guy across the road came out and fired off some shots. I guess I was getting too close to the hay!! If you decide my image could use some PP and decide to edit and repost--would you please tell how you did it and with what program? I have CS4

I sure did learn my lesson. Now I try to shoot only on state land or my own yard. Funny thing is, I did have a zoom lens with me but I had forgotten the tripod--that won't happen again either! I have to admit my son was kind of amused by the image the story brought to mind!
