Digital photography

I like music, i like live bands, i like live bands pictures, why should I wouldn't take it? I'm not going to sell it or something like that neither are the bands using my pics for marketing or something like that.

That's the point I'm not a professional photographer, just an amateur. I don't have a "professional rig" most of the time I just use a 50mm lens.
But the bouncers are instructed that if you can change the lens it's a professional camera. And I have the shittiest phone ever, it's impossible to take pictures on it.

How about just watch the band? If you HAVE to take a photo you can use your phone. Photographers are (barely) hired to take photos. You are undermining us.

It shouldn't matter what kind of camera I'm using, either. If I'm using an ipad then I'm using an ipad. The difference is that I'm the person being paid to do so, and you're not. Having a 'pro' rig is meaningless when everyone has one.

Sorry, just a major pet peeve.
