I haven’t noticed any dust problems with my 30D under normal use (I pretty much always shoot faster than f/8) until one day I stopped down to f/32 to try to force a long exposure in bright light and my picture had all these hairs and dust spots in it… Well, the lens I was using was like 10 years old and you can see dust and hairs inside it when you look through it so I figured that was what was going on. Until I got the same problem with my brand new L lens. Yup, I’ve got sensor dust. Only had the camera for about 2 months!

I’m the guy who’s more likely to be the designated driver. I really don’t like the feeling of being drunk, and there’s not much alcoholic that I like the taste of anyway. So I take photos instead. =D

Ha. I don’t mind taking photos while I have one or two in me. This photo here was taken after about two Vodka Sevens. I wouldn’t try doing much handheld though. It’s not so much that I’d drop the camera (I got a hand strap for it), but that the shots would come out all shaky. These venues don’t give you much light to work with at all.

Generally, if you don’t actually see a sign saying no photographs or video, you’re all good. To be safe I generally try to ask the band’s permission and offer them copies of the photos and I haven’t had anyone turn me down. A few bands have even used my photos for their Myspace pages and web sites.
