shall i state the obvious:
some rules are needed if someone is bothering a person or filming
someone who doesn't want to be filmed etc. but
if a filmmaker wants to film the sky or builidings or any landscape
they please for hours (not ten min.s) they should be able to
just as a painter is able to. that is the main problem of such rules
