Just a bit of a rant, cos this is becoming ridiculous, where I stay in Theescombe, PE, we are constantly finding photographers coming with their clients and just merrily having photo shoots in our driveway. Like seriously who does this? :mad:
This just happened again a few minutes ago, unfortunately by the time I was notified by my sister who stays next door and I got down there they had packed up and left.

Just on the off chance that one them reads this... If I catch you here again I will crush your camera in front of you. :mad:

This has been an ongoing problem for a couple of years now, in the beginning they used to actually drive up and ask if they could do a shoot, now they just trespass and help themselves. @!#$@#$

Now I am curious to see what your driveway looks like.

Tbh, I don't really get it.. it doesn't look super awesome. Has a lot of trees, maybe that's the pull? I posted a pic here long time ago of my dog, who was kinda in the driveway.. You could try find that if you want .. :p

I actually don't have any recent ones, I don't really go around taking pics of the drive.. Here's one from 2013. It looks much the same except there's no longer has much green grass visible as it's been covered with pine needles over the years..

Any PE based photographer's who have been taking photo shoots in a private driveway will know exactly who they are so I don't really see the need for pictures.. Sadly they're probably unlikely to read this. Perhaps it's time to install a driveway camera and catch them red handed.

That's a nice driveway! Beautiful spot for photos. You need to think business here. Put up a fence and charge for the use of photos.

Thanks. You know if one of them came up and offered 100 bucks for taking a few pics and they weren't gonna compromise our privacy or do any kinda stuff we'd object to, we'd probably tell them to go ahead. I just get super pissed off at the gall of just marching up a private driveway and snapping away. I wonder if their clients are aware of the situation, potentially they're even endangering them, for all they know we're a bunch of crazies armed with shotguns. :sneaky:

A good photo is worth the risk. ;)

Put up a sign saying: Trespassers will be shot.
Buy an airsoft sniper rifle and let the games begin.

Ha ha yea.. it's a fun idea, but I think my better judgement will kick in before I start taking pot shots at people.

Well, they could go sky diving for that, risky, plus awesome shots. :p

No really, bwana is right, I like the driveway just fine but honestly it's nowhere near PE's prime piece of photo scenery. There's a game reserve like 5 minutes away which has plenty of nicer places to take pictures. There's also loads of public roads with as many and more trees and whatever else they want.
