Taku, thanks for your perspective and I agree. Living close to one of the nation's busiest Wilderness areas the issues are in my backyard. Because of its proximity to Tahoe, amazing views, and relative ease of getting to, the general public would be astounded the pressures that come down to turn this area into a film studio. Pity the poor land manager that stands between huge corporations wielding obscene bank rolls, local governments selling themselves out to any talk of cash coming in, users that complain very time they see a helicopter or plane below 2000 feet, and of course the law that requires you to maintain some measure of Wilderness standards. It is a job not many of us would ever want.Taku said:......................... Some of the "kinks" may have to be worked out, but I can say if you work/live/play in an area that has lot's of demand for use of public lands to film commercially, it can quickly get out of hand.
Yep Steve, an amature taking a picture out there is not a movie company out to make some money, so write a letter or two-two different subjects, different answers. Some times i think our government trying to make things better sometimes trips over their own two feet-part of the governing process that takes time to work right.Wandering Sagebrush said:I just saw it on another photography related site...
It's time to contact your congressional representatives, meaning both senators and your house representative. This sucks big time.
