I went to the North Sea Jazz Festival 2007 in Rotterdam. On Friday and Sunday. On the Internet there were a lot of warnings not to bring a professional camera. S0 stupid me, listened to this advice. And there I was watching and listening to these wonderful acts. But no real camera. Completely surrounded by other people who did bring their SLR cameras. Okay not real big lenses (besides the press-photographers) but still they did bring their camera.
So I decided that I had to take my change and go again. Bought tickets for the Sunday and two days later we were standing with my Canon 20D at the entrance of North Sea Jazz. And no security check at all.
I left my big lens in the car and started to play with my 50mm f/1.4 to see what result I would get. Luckily I was able to walk all the way up to the stage and enjoyed Ronald Snijders.
After a funky show we decided to go back to the car and collect the ‘big’ lens, my 70-200 1:2.8. Again no checks at the entrance and I was able to get through the gate with no problems at all.
