camera in wacken

[sautherom]

Sometimes, the problem is the judgement/criterion for security guards, in WOA 2009, a security guard told me not to take pictures in WET Stage, during the performance of Split Heaven (Mexico's band in Battle Metal)

My camera is a non professional sony cybershot.

So if you're not allowed to bring in video cameras...how'd this guy get away with it

Pretty hilarious videos, though.

thats filmed with the photo camera . you can bring compact photo cameras. but you can have problems due to security ignorance.

In the venue here it depends on the security too. I was taking pictures and apparently the security guard in front of me didn't like the flash. He told me to stop using flash and that I could take perfectly good pictures using the stage lights, which doesn't work with a $100 Kodak.

Semi - pro is ok

I took a Olympus E-510 with a fat 70-300mm lens. They watched the cam ask 2 other guys and let me in. That was 2008 and 2009 ...

I think it will be no problem as long the cam can only make pictures and no movies.

This year the camera rules seem to have changed - no bridge cameras. Do thy mean ALL bridge cameras or just the ones with the inter-changeable lenses?

The ones with interchangable lenses are forbidden in any way!
But as I don't know what bridge cameras are, I cannot tell you more.

 

[PaulaLeeds]

In the UK a bridge camera is a chunky (fat) camera with a curve to the body shape. Mine is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ40 and certainly not a professional's camera. I think the problem may be that the lens sticks out, even though it is fixed.

I just hope someone at the WOA organisation sees this post and is able to give further guidance.
