My take on the issue: You should bring your camera. Be discreet and base your amount of "discreet" on how many other people (if any) are taking photos. If it's just you and the hired photographer then you can really go for it; if there are a dozen people with cameras snapping away (especially of they're using loud cameras or - gag - flash) you should cool it. I expect the matter of "scaling" is the main reason guests are discouraged from taking photos - if one guest does it there's no problem but if a dozen do it could be awful. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
