In a lot of places now you have to pay extra to take photos. You have
to pay _a lot_ extra if you want to use the pictures professionally. One
place I went in had a ticket for about £2, no time limit. If you wanted
a pro ticket, it was about 200Euro for 1.5 hours.
What, you mean like churches? Or are we talking stately homes?
Many places that you need to buy a ticket to get into. In the case of
the Cathedral in Prague, you need to buy only a ticket for certain parts
and that includes a photo licence, which you need for the whole
building. However, once we were inside, I think there was certainly
long term damage being done from all the flashes. There weren't that
many people in the ticket queue......
What happens if you don't buy a ticket, then pull an optio out and get a
catch of little johnny sucking on his ice cream?
I was a good boy and didn't do it but, as above, the rest of the world
seemed to take no notice. Particularly shitty as the tickets were so
cheap for amateur use. I was expecting some sort of official response
but there was none when I was around.
BTW, only two P***** DSLRs on the whole trip, excluding other PDMLers'.
Most people seemed to be using phones or really tiny compacts.
Occasionally, there would be someone with a huge DSLR with battery grip
and fast lens.
Cheers,
Cotty
