Well done & thanks again. Was sitting in the West Lower yesterday and tried to get a decent snap of Pardew facing his chums in the North but either a steward/security bloke/4th. official/linesman conspired to step into frame at the critical moment.
Can someone please tell me how to display photos? ( at idiot level please) Got a couple of Curbs, Wise and the gorilla, Pardew, plus Llera having a face off. No idea how to display them (they're large files)
[cite]Posted By: MrOneLung[/cite]Dunno - just thought part of the terms and conditions were that you couldnt take photos or video the game on any camera device etc etc.
I believe you're correct but it would be a real nightmare to enforce now, with mobile devices taking pretty reasonable quality video and stills...
[cite]Posted By: MrOneLung[/cite]Are you allowed to take photos inside the ground and publish them?
most likely not but that is to stop people selling them rather than fans own pics. Personal use and all that. If the club wanted to they could ask Stig to take the photos down but I doubt that they would.
Of course, if the club asked me to take them down I would. But I'd be pretty miffed about it. It's just a few pictures taken entirely for my own pleasure, and if a few like minded friends appreciate them that's a Brucie-bonus. I'm not offering them for sale and the quality is so poor that it's not going to threaten the club, it's commercial partners or anyone else.
I got my tickets for Colchester on Saturday and was thinking of taking the old camera along there, but in the light of what guinnessaddick said, I might not bother with it now.
Great pics Stig . I was taking pics at coventry last year and was told i had to stop or i would be ejected. I then pointed out to the same steward that there was a girl in the coventry supporters that was taking pics of us. He said that its not he's section and cant do anything about it. Take your camera to Colchester i'm going to not every ground is the same. Some just have stupid little jobsworth's that seem to think they have amazing power when they put their steward uniform on. I point ed out to him that it didn't make him super in fact something quite the opposite ;-)
In no way can the club do anything now that you have pics. They don't own the pics you take and that's why they want to control who takes what at the point that photos are taken. That's why they will rarely trouble someone with a point and click, but will stop someone with a "lens". The idea is that photo journalist's pay for the privillege of capturing the event and having the right to use of that footage. If anyone could provide that footage, they'd serve no purpose and would not be able to justify the outlay on providing coverage (ie people pay for press passes and the like and then some joe blow snaps "the" shot, shops it to the Newshopper and scoops the big prize... club and journo's not too happy!)
However, and with the greatest respect to Stig, I very much doubt a newspaper would buy those. There's a reason why the press photographers are located pitchside rather than up in the stands...

many thanks
Fantastic!

Took my nephew to Colchester v Crewe last season, long story. Took so pictures during the game and got told my a steward that I couldn't take photos.
