SolaresLarrave Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 One bit of good news for those living or visiting Chicago: thephotography ban on Cloud Gate (aka The Bean) was removed. In thepast, the guards were stopping people from photographing the statue,especially those coming with a tripod or doing wedding shots. Now...they're charging professionals a fee, but for the rest of us, it'sback to what it used to be.<p>Check out the article <ahref="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-0505260318may27,1,212437.story?coll=chi-news-hed">HERE</a><p>Let us all have fun!<p><p><center><imgsrc="http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/data/4566/CHI_Millenium_Park_Self.jpg"><p><i>Findingherself (M6TTL, Hexanon 35/2, Scala)</i></center> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathaniel_pearson Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 I was shooting last summer with a tripod and Kowa 6, as well as my CLE, and was approached and asked by a guard whether my shots were for personal use. I said yes, and he bid me happy shooting and continued on his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric merrill Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 I didn't get any grief when I visited and took pictures, either. From last fall.

nathaniel_pearson Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Btw, I think we photographers do owe sculptor Anish Kapoor a shoutout for making one of the most optically interesting landmarks anyone could ask for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_fields1 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Does this mean you can use your tripod at ANYTIME - not just "after 9:00 am", for non-pro's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
