Summer travels #1 - My biannual conference is in Australia this summer, which will make for some excellent travel and photography opportunities. Unfortunately, Tahiti isn't in my itinerary. In the future, I should make sure the X-E1 is wearing a pancake lens when getting checked at the door so that it resembles a point and shoot, which they seem to be fine with. I mildly protested, and another person working the doors came over and after asking if it was a "zoom lens" (which it isn't), let me in. Update: I did recently get hassled by someone checking bags at a concert over my X-E1 wearing the 56mm lens. I just received the 56mm f/1.2 which is bigger than the 60mm, but hopeful still won't garner much notice. I've never been hassled with my X-Pro1 (or now X-E1, since it's even smaller) with the 60mm f/2.4 lens. The only sticking point is that it does have a detachable lens. It's not a DSLR, it has a relatively low-profile (i.e., no big viewfinder hump), and most of the lenses are under 6". The Fuji X-system (specifically thd X-E1 and similar) should be okay by most, but not all, definitions.

Some of policies actually have a useful level of specificity! In addition to detachable lenses, the length of the lens seems to be a determining factor (6" seems to be the cutoff between non-professional and professional cameras). Here's a list of camera regulations at each of the NBA arenas. Does "professional" mean a zoom lens? Telephoto? A certain length?.Or does "professional" mean interchangeable lenses? This doesn't make much sense either, since by this logic the $2800 Sony RX1R and $1300 Fuji X100s are non-professional, while the $500 Nikon D3200 or 1-system are professional?.amateur athlete? If so, then it's the use of the images, and not the type of camera that defines "professional." Does "professional" mean that one is making money from their pictures e.g., like a professional vs.Instead, I just wish that someone would define what a professional camera is.

This post isn't intended to cover whether one has the right, or not, to take pictures at a concert (or how to do so respectfully/discretely). So here's the plan.Ī lot of concert (and other) venues note that no "professional cameras" are allowed, and by extension, that "non-professional" cameras are okay.

But if I could get to "MLC" (maximum legal carry-on ~40 liters) bag plus a small bag or backpack (i.e., "personal item" on the plane), I'd be going much lighter than the 90+ liter Gregory Whitney backpack I previously traveled with. Couple that with a (small) laptop and iPad, I know one bag isn't going to happen. Even though I travel with the small(ish) Fuji X-sytem which is lighter than the Nikon DSLR I used to travel with, it's still more gear than most "one-baggers" would carry. Given that I'm an avid photographer, I know there's no way I can do this, unless half of the bag is camera gear. I've been reading about "one bag travel," where the goal is to fit everything into a carry-on bag. I need to have a pack for day trips with my photo gear and small messenger bag for the conference and walking around Sydney and Melbourne.And it's not like I'll be carrying two DSLRs. But I'd be crushed if I had a problem with my camera and didn't have a backup on a trip like this. In particular, a second body is a total luxery. Admittedly, there's likely going to be more photography gear than most would bring.And I don't mind being scruffy and going without shaving for a few weeks. I tend to be low maintenance when it comes to toiletries, and am perfectly fine using whatever is found in the hotel.Much more on the activewear side of things rather than anything formal. There will be lots of walking and exploring in the cities, as well as some hiking in the countryside.No suits, ties, shiny leather shoes, etc. Although part of my trip involves attending an academic conference, I tend to dress at the causal end of the spectrum for these sorts of things (maybe even outside the range of what is normative).As I head out to my conference in Australia, with a stop in New Zealand on the way, I've been planning for how to pack for the trek.
