Not only is this a bright red car (its a Diplomatic Protection Group car, and the dots at the top of the windscreen signify that they're armed!) it's also not brilliant at hiding behind the fence is it with it's lights on... On the plus side they didn't arrest me for taking a photograph of them. You can see this car in action here and here Can you tell a theme at the moment? Yep I'm trying to debunk the myth of the UK war on photography that frankly doesn't exist. I'm also back on one post a day after the chunk of London PhotoWalk shots from the weekend.

I've built a wordpress plugin that uses the API from photo sharing sites to share when people fave my photos on them within this site.
To show up on the left - simply fave the photo at one of the below sites.
In the future I look forward to making it more available for other wordpess users to benefit from.
This information comes from the Camera and is stored in the EXIF data; occasionally it can get corrupted so if you notice anything odd - please let me know!
It's not all about the camera. Some of my favourite shots were taken with a 4MP point and shoot camera; and I've been lucky enough to have these photos sold. That said sometimes your gear limits you. Even the gear I used for the shot is not perfect - you're mileage may vary!
When I remember - I GeoTag my images - which you can read about in my workflow. It looks like you're in luck!

That's a sick car dude! Your debunking of the UK war on photography should be an interesting one to follow. I guess we'll know what happened if you stop posting for a couple days ;)

Due to the lack of driver and what seems to be a passenger i'm inclined to think it's coffee break time.

Yesterday I took photos of a number of Metropolitan police vehicles right outside Territorial Support on the embankment three of which were Range Rover Bomb Squad vehicles at no time was I approached by any police officers, I even had two armed officers walk past me who were not in the least interested in me. Take a look at my pics.

Got stopped from Taking Pictures in Docklands. But go on any message board for a General Photography Group on Flickr and you'll find hundreds if not thousands of people who have gone through the same thing. It might not be a war on Photographers but taking pictures in London 'ain't' what it used to be! Have you seen the Scotland Yard Campaign urging people to report photographers acting suspiciously complete with a poster highlighting a camera as a terrorist weapon? I could go on...

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called UK BMW Police Vehicles, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
