A message among Lugs recently reminded me when I was in Rome some two years
ago.  I casually had my R7 mounted on a tripod and proceded to photograph the
city.  In less than an hour I was told since I was a professional I needed a
license.  I finally found out if you have a tripod you must be a professional.

I have yet to get paid a thin dime for a photograph.  Has this happened to any
of you professional?  If so what countries do I have to worry about?

I leave for Turkey , Greece, and Israel Sunday.  Can I take my tripod or is it
a waste of time?
