Read this morning about Barangaroo having a policy that says of you have a tripod, then you are a commercial photographer and therefore have to request permission and pay $330 for a permit to shoot there. http://m.smh.com.au/entertainment/ar...28-gladmz.html

Whilst I interested that it's privately owned and operated property, therefore they can make any rules they want within the law, and Ken is well known commercial tog, I'm wondering who came up with the idiotic, "you have a tripod and therefore must be a commercial tog idea?"

I know this sort of thing had been talked about elsewhere, but other than being a money grab, I'm not sure that making publicly accessible private property off limits to togs with tripods without payment is altogether fair and reasonable.
