I know that at our local arena, *no* cameras are allowed. Not even P&S. That is, of course, rare.

However, I was talking to a press photographer at a Kamloops Blazers game last year (WHL hockey), and was discussing various rules in various arenas with him. He said that it's generally the press making deals with specific arenas. The professional photographers don't like amateurs with the same equipment they have in the same arenas, getting the same shots. The newspapers also want to keep amateurs (or professionals not on the payroll), from submitting freelance shots to them all the time for events that they're already paying their on-staff photographers to get.

So, whether this pro was full of buck-pucky or not, it makes a bit of sense, and is completely dependent on the individual arenas and events.

Anyway, just something I remembered about.

(oh, and for the curious, the pro was using a Nikon D200 with a 300mm f/2.8 on it.)

that's too bad. You know I'd offer my scalp-sculpting services any time. Maybe if we did something a little less drastic...like maybe just a road map of holland?


Do you have any idea how many roads there are in Holland????

As silly as it may sound to let in a P&S but not a SLR as it has been said, it's their party, they get to set the rules. I have been to many concerts that simple said "as long as the lens isn't bigger that such and such inches, you're fine". Which normally worked great for me when I had my Olympus p&s cause it looked small but I had a screw on x2 telephoto lens in the bag.

Wanna here a really weird one? Couple weekends ago the Air Force was doing a tour of their F22. You could bring any camera but you couldn't take pictures within the roped off area-20 feet of the plane. Ok come on, if you even have an semi-good lens you are gonna get within that 20 feet with no problem. I had my tele but didn't use it cause I was getting too close, and I saw many with better lenses than mine. It was probably because within the rope area you could see inside the wheel areas but that was really about it, you couldn't even see into the cockpit because of the coating it has.
