Cameras

Post by BLG123 »

If this belongs somewhere else, im sorry to open another topic for it, but are photos allowed to be taken at the concerts? The show I'm going to says its ok with them as long as its ok with the performer. If so, what is a good type of camera to use? And should I get one with or without a flash?

Whether you can bring a camera depends on the venue. And go without a flash, otherwise, if you have people in front of you, the back of their heads will turn out better than what's on the stage.

At the SLO show they announced that cameras were not allowed. But I didn't use flash, and I had no problem.



I don't know how strict some venues are.

For the Toledo show, I had called the venue a few days before, and they were very emphatic that it was strictly NO CAMERAS! ..so I took mine anyway. :)



Ended up they were checking bags, and wouldn't let you bring in food/beverages (they had concessions setup closer to the ampitheatre in the zoo), but they didn't care about my camera. They wouldn't let Fred bring her camera in with the huge zoom lens though. We asked a guard by the stage, and they said as long as no flash, it was fine.



Moral of the story, always take it just in case!
