emilliana I never get to take my camera to gigs any more, due to the baffling outlook most venues seem to have whereby anything with a detachable lens is deemed a ‘professional’ camera and is therefore not allowed (yet iPhones which record video* are fine, despite the far greater likelihood of some kind of copyright infringement that they pose - or whatever it is they’re worried about). * yes, I know DSLRs record video now, but mine doesn’t. It’s old, okay. Don’t rub it in.
