Any photographers in here?

Quick shot last night of my little Isabella. :)

I brought my camera to the RUSH concert last night. We had decent seats so I thought I could get some decent pics. All the signs around said "No Professional Cameras" well my Canon is considered an upper level P&S so I thought it'd be OK so I started shooting. The captures were looking really good on the LCD so I shot more. Sure enough, one of the crowd security guys pulled me over halfway through the first set. He said one of Rush's security had told them to get me. WTF?! (hand)

They didn't make me delete the pics or leave or anything, just told me to put it away. I got 60 pics before though so I'm happy. Can't wait to PP and post the results here!

Apparently, no PROFESSIONAL cameras (interchangeable lenses) means no cameras at all.

Bands (perceptually their marketing manager) are very uptight about who takes high quality photo's of their bands and what they are used for. I was shooting OAR at an on campus show for the news paper and the manager came and grabbed me by the arm and took me back stage and stated drilling me with questions about who I was, what I was doing and what the pictures were for. I ended up signing a release with the band in order to be able to take pictures during 3 songs out of the entire concert. Just goes to show never trust the person sending you on assignment when they say they have everything approved. Obviously not!!
 
Rush is coming here! I wanna go but I don't wanna spare the $65 for tix. O_o

How was the show?!

The show was epic. Probably the second loudest show I've ever been to. (The first being The Black Keys)

Geddy Lee kinda screetched the first song (Spirit of the Radio) out though. It was kind of bad, but after that he seemed to calm down and get his actual voice back. There were some fairly decent cinematics and the beginning of each set that told the story of the time machine. The props on stage were well done. There was some pyroteknics in the second set.

Overall I'm glad I went. I will post the pics probably Friday or Saturday night after I am done PP'ing them.

I was taking P&S pictures from way up. No WAY they were high quality photos, not saleable that's for certain! They're just for my enjoyment and photography practice.

No but seriously i have Nikon D50, bought it when i graduated high school in '06 when it was all shiny and new, and i still love it and use it daily, well as daily as i can, being in the military doesn't leave me much time to go photograph too much, but i do as i can...
