Pub Photography - A Risky Business?

[Evil Gazebo]

Over my two and a half years snapping I have not been involved in any major incidents apart from a brief altercation with a Bury Taxi driver accusing me of taking a photo of his licence plate.However a couple of weeks ago while trudging around Huddersfield on a wet Tuesday afternoon had a very interesting experience.
I was just about to take my next photo of a town centre pub I noticed in the corner of my eye, to the right of the pub a young lady leaning out of an upstairs window waving her arms frantically and yelling " Mr take me".She then proceeded to lift her top to reveal her mild and bitter.I then swiftly adjusted my camera to full zoom and duly obliged the young ladies request.
All of a sudden the day seemed to brighten up

Happy Snapping

I think we need to see the evidence of this story!

I will give you a clue to the location of the pub. It is in the town centre, and if you look on the roof you would have an idea what the pub is called without viewing the sign.

Could be paranoia, or could be justified.. From time to time the brewery send people out to photograph our place.. sometimes it's for signage companies, sometimes for car park companies... but one day it could be the estate agent.

Hopefully you would be friendly about checking though.

It has been disconcerting hearing how threatening it can sometimes be and is never going to leave the photographer with a good impression of the pub. Whereas on the flipside where someone is friendly as you have been and asks for a copy of the picture it just leaves a good impression.

. Interior shots are really about judging the sort of place you are in, and how many people are around. I always think it's rude to include people in interior shots and I hate it myself when someone else does it.

I try and avoid photographing people when inside pubs, but I have had folk say they do not mind being in the picture, so I include them, like you say, it is a judgment call really, I can think of a few pubs where the only camera they see is the one in the local nick

Quinno... Did the misses know you were actually taking a picture of the Ship or was it a case of "just a bit to the left love, there's a bit of glare from the sun"?

Thank you very much for the warm welcome, this is such a worthwhile project.

...Cheltenham a much neglected town on our system...

You're not kidding - nearby Gloucester seems a bit threadbare as well. Even the McGraws don't appear to have ventured into this territory but I'm surprised some of you West Country folk haven't done the rounds. I would hazard a guess that there are some decent pubs beteen the 2 so I may earmark them for a long weekender when the sun comes out.
