Oh, nobody's talking about staying simply to defy them. My situation has been a special shot I wanted or sun angle, something that for photographic reasons I felt I needed to be there. Other times it's right after I look through the lens to set up the shot without taking a photo! In that case I'll remind them of the actual rules.

I'm not advocating making a scene or adding unnecessary drama. If you have your 4 shots of the R46 coming up the hill at Smith-9th, you're probably going to leave anyway. But if not, stand your ground and use finesse to get your shots. And then leave.

In a day's shooting I usually educate at least one person that photography is legal and allowed. 10 people doing that would educate 10 people. And so it goes...

your pal,
Fred

PS Careful about showing calendars; they might zap you for a permit for commercial photos :(
