Tuesday Tips #234 Keeping Your Cool in the Crowd

Chances are good that you aren’t the only photography in the crowd, right? As a general rule, if you were not invited by the artist or speaker of the event, pack the flash away until you receive permission from the proper authority. Can you imagine singing or speaking to a crowd and a dozen flash bulbs go off at one time? Not only would this likely temporarily blind the person everyone came to see, but it will likely get you kicked out of the pit as well.

“If you walk across my camera I will flash the world your story.”
-Woody Guthrie
