Huh? I got approached by a security guard outside Millena Walk for talking photos. I didn't know that exterior also can't take photos?!!!Originally posted by Ansel
I was at the concourse of the esplanade theatres by the bay, and was told by security not to take pictures of the interior architecture, such as ceiling, wall, etc. Reason being I may be infringing copyright :what:
But then was told by the same security supervisor that I was allowed to take pictures of the art works on display. :dunno:
Do you think this security supervisor knows what he was talking about? Anyone got similar experience?

Inside CHIMJES definitely cannot take photos if you armed with SLR and big lenses!!!
No experience with esplanade yet\

In the case of taking photos of a building from OUTSIDE the building, e.g. across the road etc, there shouldn't be any problem with that. No guard from inside the building should be able to stop you from taking photos outside of the building. SO go ahead and take your photos. If there is any problem ask them to call the police n settle. If they try to strongarm you, be sure to whip out ur mobile and dial 999 and make a lot of noise and attract attention.
Hope this uplifts those building photographers' spirits

I was...and i accepted their reasonings.
But i am curious if there is really such a need to seek for permission to take photos of building even if the building is "exposed" to everyone's eyes.

I believe that if you take photographs from a public place, eg. on the street, then the security will have no reasons to stop you. Seeking permission when taking photos on the street? Sounds funny to me.
But of course, don't go around taking photos of buildings in restricted areas, eg. army camps.
