Taking Pictures "at" a show, what not to do!

Back in October, a friend and I drove to las vegas to see armin and markus schulz. Anyway, we each had a camera, so on the way I figured it wouldn't be a bad idea to get some pics of the hoover damn, and other various stuff. Well my friend forgot to bring his camera into the show, and by that time I only had like 3 or 4 shots left. A few months later I developed the camera, and only got 1 shot to turn out, along with a lot of worthless hoover damn pictures. I feel like such an idiot.

Anyone ever have something like that happen to them?

Well, this one time I read a topic in which the topic starter mistakingly called the 'Hoover Dam' the 'Hoover Damn'. Multiple times, may I add.

Haha. I'm just busting your balls, man.

I actually do have a story like that. I attended Summerstage '03 with a disposable camera with only a small amount of pics left. Only about 3 of them came out good. I'm still angry about that.

I guess the best thing to do would be to buy a digital camera, so you don't have to worrie about that crap. or just enjoy the show and let it live in your memory forever.

one time I was on a school trip and I had a disposable camera and I was about to take a pic of my friend and held up his middle finger so L could not get that film developed or my mom would not let me see my friend anymore and that camera had all the good stuff on it

Sweet! I was right infront of the booth the whole time, except when my friend and I went up to meet armin and markus. Remember the intense steam? That was sweet! I stayed till about 5am

I spent $14 on a throw away camera for PVD on NYE this year and once I got to the club went to take a picture and the flash didn't work at all. so now I have a digital camera for WMC this year

If you have a digicam at an event like that do one of 3 things.

1) Closeups of people, use the flash and auto mode.
2) Shots of the DJ from a distance, low flash and high ISO (sensitivity, keeps the exposure down)
3) Use flash and long exposure to get weird effects
