Just for Fun No C&C will be given: A Security Policeman

I asked this policeman at one of the gates of Westminster, if I could take an image of him and his gun, and he kindly obliged. I got down on one knee and took this shot.

POW means - Police Official Weapon.

Paul,

There's an effective movement of the master diagonal from left to upper right intersected by the right arm and the "clip holder" or magazine feed. The small wedding band is a powerful eye stopper to this movement and it alone balances all that power.

Clean and well executed. I'd blur the street a tad more.

"Now move on Sir, There's a good chap!"

Asher

Thanks, Asher.

I got given a hard time around the corner when I photographed the building name plate at the Ministry of Justice - not by the police though, but the private security guards who were considerably exceeding their authority and the guidelines they had been issued with.

Well done for asking - the outcome was worthwhile.

Mike

Mike, thanks.

Mike, if you have anymore interference with these guys can you please let me know, because I am trying to build up a lot of information on these guys and they're habits and reasons in stopping people from taking pictures.
Like yourself, I don't have any problems with the police stopping me. In fact in Canary Wharf, the police walk straight pass me without any question, or stopping me.

I do realise that these security guards protect the entrances to buildings, but to state that a public thoroughfare or street has now become 'private property' is far beyond me.

Just ignore them Mike, they don't hold any power, mate. I have challenged them many times.
