As I was about to set up my tripod one afternoon for a shot in front of the RBC Building at Bay and Wellington in Toronto, a security guard almost immediately comes storming out of the building demanding to know what I was doing. I looked up and said: "taking a photo." He said that I was on private property (the sidewalk) and that I would have to move.
When asked where the properties boundaries extended to, he looked confused and just pointed nondescriptly to the curb. Apparently they own the sidewalks.

Very interesting long exposure! Is the shot taken in full daylight? The blurred clouds make a perfect contrast with the sharp edges of the skyscrapers' windows...
I recently had a security guy call me over and ask a bunch of questions when I was on some land that was "private property". When he asked for all me personal info, I asked for his card and he said he didn't have one. After that I just gave him my name and number. Seems to be happening more and more lately.
Stila - used a 10-stop ND filter. It was a 30 second exposure in daylight I believe. Dave - I would have just lied.
