yup!

he never stopped me yet. and i find filming when you are right in front of him doesn't get security on your case either.

I've definitely been looked at by artists (I only take photos, don't record) but as long as my flash is off, I've never had a problem.

I like how some of you are hiding it on your person, etc. I've always just put my camera in an inside zippered pocket in my purse. Haven't been caught yet.

However, if you really want Ms. Nicks to give you the stare of death take a picture with flash right in front of her. Back in 2003 I had a disposable that I brought and couldn't turn the flash off. Yeah, I still remember that look. Since then I've used all sorts of point & shoot digital cameras and always have the flash turned off. My last cameras have had the larger zooms on them for point & shoots, but no one said anything about that. I have been busted for filming, but only when I was farther away, oddly enough. The two FM shows I've been to this year I've been in the front and had no problem filming, and Lindsey certainly know you're doing it, but doesn't seem to care.

So, because you're 26 rows back, I expect you'll be hassled about filming rather than photos. Good luck!

That sucks!! You would think it's the other way around!:(

When I was filming a few songs with my iPhone, one of the ushers who shows people where their seats are came over, and glared at me. I played it like I was just taking a quick photo and she went away, but I saw her telling some other guy to put it away. And I wasn't in the first few rows..

When I was in Boston, the wand was beeping for me, and they didn't even care, they just told me to go anyway. lmao
This is what I do. I have a little black crossbody bag that has a zippered compartment, & I put my black, Canon camera w/zoom in it. It fits right in there. That way if it is searched, no one even sees the zippered part; it's too dark to see in there especially with all the other junk I put in there. :D

This right here.

Being on the performer side of things, it DOES temporarily blind the performer after a flash...I've inadvertantly stepped off the front of a stage due to "flash blindness" (the stage only being a foot or less high, but still ended up with a cast on my sprained ankle & a $200 repair bill for the guitar I was playing when it crashed on the edge of the stage when the strap gave way.) and the height of the stages in venues Fleetwood Mac are playing can be pretty lethal if they happened to fall.

So, if you have full knowledge of the camera you're using and CAN defeat the flash function, give it a go. If you can't take a picture in a darkened room without your flash going off, then leave the damned thing in the car or at home.

TerraRhiannon 04-23-2013 04:41 PM
Agreed, I would never flash the band... With the camera !! Use no flash or don't use it at all, people!! I'd feel soooo bad about temporarily blinding them.
