Most of the time when shooting with my 11x14, it is from the back of my SUV on the side of the road. Trunk open and camera set up not all that far from the vehicle. If able to pull completely off the road, never a problem. Town roads here in New England, never a problem. But if I am parked on the side of a main (with Route#) road, several times Police have stopped and politely I was told to pack it up and move on... with the clear implication of doing that RIGHT NOW! A real bummer when one spends 20+ minutes setting up the shot and then are told to move on "now". Talked with our local Police and they recommended that I place a red cone behind the driver's side of the vehicle. So I heeded their advice for the past year, and boy does it work.... patrol cars now just drive by me. Sometimes they slow down and wave!
