Can anyone share the document here where it was mentioned photography/videography is allowed at stations pls?
Sharing an experience of mine:

I was standing behind yellow line and capturing a video of JSME TBM SF,after which one RPF madam came and told "delete it" as you need GM permission.I explained that this is for non commercial purpose (blog) and then she says it's

dangerous!!!

I was clearly standing behind yellow line,which was seen in the video still she insisted to delete it!!!!!

I told her even at MS I've captured in front of RPF ,they didn't have any problem,upon which they spoke to her senior and they gave all silly excuses like the loco number coach number can be misused , we can track your IP address etc etc etc.....
Then they're like PPL do stunts selfies which is dangerous to which I said I'm aware of this and take safely!!!!!!
Then they told if you're capturing trains skipping do it from FOB not platform as it's 'dangerous'!!!😂

I mean people are LITERALLY CROSSING THE TRACKS in front of train right in front of you and taking the video safely is the problem?????

BTW,I had valid PF ticket which I showed.


Then after seeing I was aware of the rules and spoke confidently and politely,they said just delete it and went away!!
It looks like they took it for granted and told to delete,I spoke about the rules correctly to which they tried to make excuses and just left after that!

Just to not be questioned more
The other captures were done from FOB😂

Inaugural special run of Patna-Howrah Vande Bharat Express at Baruipara 🔥🔥, crossing 36849 HWH-BWN local as well as overtaking 36858 BWN-HWH local.
Vande Bharat inaugural ceremony has a superpower of converting RPFs (usually strict with photography/videography) into railfans 🙂.....

Useful:Thanks for ur info...👍👍👍👍
If taking photos or videos on a smartphone one thing I would recommend is a phone with good stabilization having both OIS and EIS also try to keep your hands steady as possible while shooting with practice you'll be able to do it.
My friend takes much better shots and stable videos with my phone then me coz he's very actively involved in photography and videography.

If this is true then I would welcome this step. These so called vloggers have no respect for the privacy for their fellow passengers, and don't even blur the faces of their fellow passengers and post the videos, pictures on social media platform.
These vloggers bring shame to the railfan community. Most railfans are interested only in shooting the route on route, but these vloggers cause inconvenience to their fellow passengers. Once upon a day, I used to do regular photography and videography on my onboard journeys, but now I refrain from doing it, due to these vlogger epidemic!

Converting hobby into a source of income is somewhat smart, but most of the railway vloggers are extremely irritating, having horrible expressions, little or no knowledge about railways, usually creating an artificial chaos everywhere to gain views, spamming by providing manipulative captions & so on. Actually, chapri vloggers have chapri audience...thats why they are growing, even IRCTC sends personal invitations to such 'dumb' videographers on Vande bharat inaugural runs. Though I must say, there are some channels who have wonderful content, sense of videography & editing & useful to passengers, these are channels of standard railfans who adopted vlogging.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
