      Forget the signs. Why should we not take photos at Gunwharf? What harm are we doing unless you have a tripod stuck out in the middle where people are walking. This clamping down on photgraphers is really pissing me off - are they going to chuck out pro photographers who are taking pics for there post cards that they are selling in Gunwharf. Not on your nellie!!!!!!!!! On what grounds did they ask you to leave? What are they going to do if you refuse to go - call the police who have no powers to stop you taking pics as there is no law saying you cannot take photos in public places.

      Whilst I wasn't thrown out the security guards stopped me taking photos in the covered shopping arcades at Gunwharf. They made feeble excuses such as not being allowed to photograph the 'special offers' in shop windows etc. I was absolutely incensed but it is private property and so couldn't do much about it. I asked how they expected people to come from far and wide to take pictures of one of the most iconic structures in the country only to be turned away. They said that it was OK as long as you stick to the harbour front.

      I have a 'ticket' for taking pics in Gunwharf, I was surrounded by about 6 security guards and bullied into showing them my images so that none of them were on it.. they were searching a kid about 13 at the time so I snapped them, they panicked cos searching kids without their parent or guardian is illegal. wish I had not deleted it now, hey ho we live and learn

      Reading of those experiences makes me mad.
