During the 70s I was a member of a National Academy of Sciences panel on the best and safest techniques for extracting oil from offshore drilling locations. I appended a lot of pictures to my reports showing safe and unsafe practices encountered on oil rigs. No elaborate photo equipment used. Most pictures were taken with a Rollei 35 on Plus X, zone focused, set at f8 and 1/125 second. The camera was small and innocuous looking and didn't intimidate anyone. No one ever asked me to stop taking pictures. It might even be OK on the streets of NYC. Here is an example, not great esthetics but adequate for the purpose. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Larry+Z/_22Tripping_22+the+drill+pipe+2.jpg.html Larry Z
