| | | Posted by pash but say im popping out of a manhole, and the police are at the manhole waiting for me should i come out and surrender? or trust the cops wont come into a drain and book it to an outfall or different manhole? sometimes it seems right, but sometimes ya gotta know ya cant win.
| Let me preface this by saying that it is unlikely for the cops to be waiting for you outside the specific manhole you pop out of, even if someone saw you enter the drain. Unless that manhole was your only known POE, then there is too much ground to cover. Odds are, if they are outside the manhole, it's probably a coincidence. However, bear in mind that in a drain you are trapped. The cops could easily get maps from the city government, and you'd be amazed at how quickly the possibility of somebody tampering with critical systems gets a bureaucracy moving. Unless you know for a fact that you can get to another exit undetected and quickly, I'd surrender. In a drain, you can only move in a few directions, and they could intercept you easily with a few officers and a map. So, like you said, sometimes it's possible, but I think that if you've been seen it's already too late.

I'm definitely going to need to invest in binoculars then. I try not to bring the tripod unless I know I'm absolutely going to need it. I can't tell you how many times I've been in a field photographing a barn or what not and a cop has stopped to ask what I'm doing like I'm setting up a sniper rifle or something. But since I don't do a lot of night time photography I usually have camera in hand. I don't like to use the tripod unless it's a must. How much do you trust word of mouth on places said to be patrolled? If at all.
| A stupid 13 yo kid got me busted because she thought my tripod was a rifle from 15 feet away. I'm tired of tripod tip overs too. That cost me over $800 one time. They waste energy, time, money, and sanity when not needed. Shooting freestyle is all about technique and practice. It's worth learning and similar to sharp shooting in skill sets although different. It's need more more action and street shooting, but it ease and fluidity carry over nicely for shooting stills in complicated environments. Unlimited positions and shooting heights with minimum set up time. It takes a while to get good at it and practice... Use a bush towel to rest the cam on. Use any stable surface vertical or horizontal to brace the cam on. The ground, door frames, walls, poles, etc or use the standard free standing shooting position; feet shoulder wide apart or wider, one foot slightly forward if this helps, elbows in. Use breath control just like target shooting and a smooth shutter release. Street shooting taught got me good at this technique. Always brace on something when you can even if it your body and not the cam. The cam needs to become an extension of you, part of you. As this happens your shooting will become fluid and second nature.

| Oh wow. Busted? I would be pissed. That time was the only time the cops ever bothered me... it was night time and 3 stopped. I had a decent laugh with them but I'd rather not draw the attention. I do try to always use my hands. I have a peak design hand strap that I love. It's helped me a lot to keep a steady hand in darker environments. I never thought of setting the camera down on anything. I am going to experiment with that. Thank you! I have found myself trying to hold my breath. I'm not sure if I tuck my elbows in or not but I will most certainly be more conscientious to do so.

| | | This is what I did when the cops came - in a word, hide in plain sight. I made my way into a structure in a more visible spot than I'd planned on initially (the building is shaped like a giant X when seen from above and there is one part of the X that has an extra build out which creates a small portion of the building being invisible from all of the roads. Sadly all the windows in this portion were well above my head and I'm a shitty climber). So I walked to the less busy of the 4 sides of the building, found a loose board, wiggled a screw loose and oddly enough found myself inside - weird how that happens! So wandering around I find much of the building has been lightly tagged, limitedly scrapped and overall was a nice find. Then I get to the other side of the X - where there are alarm company signs, motion detector cameras and either my movements or the kids body yanking the doors from the outside triggered an alarm. This side of the building looked like it was a usable office space, clean, newish carpets, no tagging and maybe newish paint job. I was pretty far in so I kept going for a while and just avoided the cameras as best I could until I tried to go to the second story. This part was strange - the cameras disappeared and it's an abandoned building that has been accessed many times from I can tell, however someone took the time to double board, weld and screw, or close off all upstairs access. One of the doors I tried had a small window in it and from what I could see the top floor has been hit much harder than the bottom. In an effort to get up there I found myself in a stairwell full of rat shit and bird feathers, and most importantly a window to see my POE. Well good thing o looked outside! I see the local PD slow cruise past my POE - I knew he couldn't see it unless he got really close but he sat a little longer than I would have liked. Ok, time to start getting out. I go to the bottom of the stairs and can see out the windows to another side of the X - hmmm two more cop cars...so I wait. I was in a spot where I could see them but they most likely couldn't see me so I sat there until the drove away. I banked on there being more important things going on than me and I think that played out. So when the cops come? If possible, stay still until they leave!
