Unabashed gloat, and frustration! Spurs game. Why no camera?

Re: Unabashed gloat, and frustration! Spurs game. Why no cam

The clubs and players want to keep total control over their game scenes and icons. They make a lot of money as it is a huge market. Without the control, you and I would be making the money. Saying that you have no intention of selling photos does not count. That is what total control is all about. No questions, no mistakes, no errors. Perhaps another way to say it is that they exclusively make money off what they own.

Should also point out that if you want player/game photos you can buy them from the clubs/market reps. We are a part of the paying market!

 

I think it depends on the arena...I was able to take my D70 for a Bulls-Heat game a few months ago  . I have pictures at http://www.vinodmenon.com/gallery/ProBasketball

 

It sucks that they restrict the usage of cameras but I guess that's where they get a bit of their money.

 

Hey Vinod, what lens did you use to capture the Bulls vs Heat game?

 

faenix, I used the 70-200 VR lens.
