Thank you for the additional insight.

Yeah of course they’re saying that. Did they find a drone registered to him?

And they are/they do. The failure here was the building the shooter climbed onto was outside of the cordoned off area of the rally. Being external to the rally, on otherwise private property, it appears there was a definite lack of patrol/surveilance. So the thing here is “secure all grounds...

Literally all of my NDs are also CPLs. I can not think of a time when I needed an ND that I did not also need or want a CPL. I suppose an exception might be when stopping down for very long exposures like for hyperlapse at night… otherwise it’s a matter of rotating the CPL for the “most...
