Sometimes I like to keep my point-and-shoot camera on me while I'm walking around enjoying Roo. I'm there for the music first, but seeing who came to Roo is a close second. Just walking around randomly will assure many beautiful shots. Most of the pics turn out blurry or something else went wrong. But once in a while a real gem comes out, from 2009 I think:
Anyone else indulge in their own photography hobby while at ROo? Please share your best, funniest, worst, or whatever!

This will be the first year I try to bring along my XLR camera. They say you can't bring in cameras with extra lenses. Does that mean cameras with that capability or just walking in with the extra lenses and setup?

I brought in my D60 that had a pretty big lens on it and they didn't say anything last year.
The official rule says: "No Professional Photography Equipment (small hand held cameras without additional lenses are fine)." I think if you bring an SLR or similar with a lens on it you'll be fine, but if you come in there strapped with a bunch of lenses, flashes, etc. they'll likely ask to see your press pass.

With my 4/3 micro DSLR i normally go thru security with a pancake lens on camera and the telephoto in my bag. Security has checked my bag and seen the telephoto many times over the last few years and have not complained. A mini DLSR with a pancake looks no different than a PaS to the majority so it doesnt warrant a closer look.
This will be my first time going and I'm super excited for the music at Bonnaroo, but equally excited to play with my camera (Panasonic ZS3). I bought it with concert photography/videography in mind a few years back. The camera works amazingly for both, especially based on its price (The newer model ZS7 is under $250).
Here's a video from All Points West a few years back. I love having my camera at music festivals and will be taking pics of anything and everything
If you can dont mind shooting a manual lens I recommend the 50mm f/1.8 lens anyways it is like $100 and one of the best looking lenses and the at 1.8 you can shoot a decent iso in lower light.
