A photography enthusiast has been banned from taking pictures of apples on trees in a Birmingham orchard.<\/p>\n

Philip Foster feels staff from nearby Crowley House Probation Hostel overreacted when they spotted him taking pictures from a footpath he says is regularly used as a shortcut by members of the public.<\/p>\n

Though Philip concedes that the path crosses private land, he feels he has been the victim of discrimination by being seen with a camera. <\/p>\n

?It is photographer?ism? the truth is that the owners have not stopped anybody else using it. Nobody else gets harassed, the gates are unlocked – my wife uses it without incident,? said the 40-year-old.<\/p>\n

During the confrontation, on 22 September, the probation hostel staff member demanded to see the images he had taken.<\/p>\n

?After looking at the shots she seemed satisfied,? said Philip. <\/p>\n

But, the next day, Philip said he was banned from using the footpath altogether, even though he had no intention of taking any more photos. ?The lady informed me that I was now recognised because of my camera and therefore banned from using the footpath as a short cut.?<\/p>\n

Philip had been using a Nikon D300 digital SLR with a Tokina 12-24mm f\/4 lens. <\/p>\n

A probation service spokesman told Amateur Photographer<\/em> (AP): ?Probation West Midlands does not permit visitors to photograph on our premises without written consent. The photographer was on a pathway that was clearly marked as being on private grounds and was asked by staff not to photograph while on the property.?<\/p>\n

The spokesman added: ‘A man was seen on the premises the following day and was approached by a member of staff…<\/p>\n

‘He was recognised as the same person that had been told not to photograph on the premises the day before and was asked to leave.’<\/p>\n

However, the hostel denies it has completely banned Philip from using the path.<\/p>\n

They say that the footpath is for the exclusive use of local residents visiting a nearby church.<\/p>\n

AP understands that the probation service is concerned about a breach of security because such buildings house offenders on bail from prison. They also cater for offenders on community sentences and post-custodial sentences.<\/p>\n

The probation service is also known to be worried about press photographers getting unauthorised pictures of hostel residents.<\/p>\n

Philip continued: ?The lady acted in a reasonable manner although the upshot was anything but. She seemed intelligent and polite but her actions, in my mind, have overstepped the mark.?<\/p>\n
