Festival, SLRs not allowed

[nickzou]

Wasn't allowed to take my D7000 (first day I had it too!) into Bluesfest. Which is why I really want a X-100 now.

They can ask you to delete the pictures you took before they kick you out.

Are you sure about that? From what I understand, they can ask you to leave or not take pictures, but they cannot make you delete your photos.

They can ask you to delete them; they can also ask you to jump off a bridge and dance a jig on the head of a pin. You're obligated to do none of them. All they can do is ask you to leave. If you refuse, you can be charged with trespass (and may suffer a bruise or two in the process).

:lmao:

We must be drinking the same beer tonight or something.

Since when did Canada & the USA become communist countries?

Since when did PRIVATE businesses represent the government of a country? This seems like the epitome of capitalism to me.

How do you plan on smuggling in a DSLR??

Any place with Security I've ever been even checks the tiny little zippered pouch in my purse...

I was thinking inside my pants...I don't think they would actually pat you down for a festival...just check my backpack for alcohol I think...

 

[Meekminx]

wrong. They do pat you down at festivals/concerts. They have to be sure no one is carrying a weapon and especially for something of Eminems. Good Luck, I would just leave it at home.

How baggy are your pants that you think you will be able to sneak in a D7000 with a 55-200 mounted on it? I know it's not a large camera, I'm assuming it's around the same size as a Canon T3, but even then if I tried to fit one of those in my pants with just a nify fifty on it, I think I'd get noticed.

 

[MissCream]

Yeah, they would pat you down..

It was funny a couple years ago I went to a Snoop concert and my friend bought a present for another friend, it was wrapped in a box. We went in and they patted us down, checked bags and purses ect.. but they didn't check the present. It was a freaking knife!!!

I picked up this camera just for stuff like this , when they tell you you can't use a pro camera. Have not tried it in low light yet but it has one heck of a range.

Shoot well, Joe

lol 25-600mm. it actually probably does shoot decent photos, i mean for just screwing around at the festival. besides if your intention is to get in there and get "pro" photos then just do what you gotta do to get a media pass

I own is my D7000 I'm thinking about smuggling it in along with the terrible but "better than nothing" 55-200mm.

Nikon's AF-S 55-200 mm f/4-5.6G ED lens is way better than terrible, if whoever is using it knows how to use it effectively.

No one, even the police, can make you delete photos without a search warrant.

Is it worth the hastle to get pictures of Eminem?

My friend got his camera's battery and memory card confiscated by a security guard at a festival - they told him to report to an area at the end of the concert, but the security guard was nowhere to be found. I would have been fuming but my mate didn't seem too annoyed - probably because he knew the risk of taking an SLR in there...

What country did that happen in? You don't indicate in your profile what part of the planet you are on and about.
