- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I've got tickets to an international cricket match for this comming saturday (England vs W.Indies) at which I was really looking forward to trying out my new lens (70-200L f/4), but i've found out that they don't allow people to take cameras in without "Proper accreditation".
I phoned up to double check and they said it would be confiscated at the entrance if I took it. Is this normal at big sports events? I assume its so that they can charge the press money for the ability to take photos there?
I'm still awaiting a reply to an email I sent the place to find out what "proper accreditation" is and how to go about getting it.
Does anyone shoot at big sports events and if so, how did you get accreditation? I'm a big fan of cricket and this is my first international so was hoping to get some good shots of my favourite players
Thanks in advance
