On Saturday, June 7, nine early-bird members
rode south down the coast to meet at Pescadero Beach to take advantage of a very low tide. When the ocean water recedes, little pools of water are left in the rocks creating tide pools. In these pools are Starfish, Sea Anemones, and other living organisms creating wonderful “photo-ops.â€

This will be a “Pic Six†night as well, when members who went on the Tide Pool field trip will present up to six images each from that expedition. As you know, when a bunch of people congregate at the same spot, even at the same time, you still get a whole bunch of different impressions.

Ever wonder if it was legal for you to take a picture? Or been harassed by a security guard for trying to take a picture? Just what are your rights?

For a general discussion of your rights, see this document by Bert Krages II that covers most cases you are likely to encounter.
