Hi guys,
I hope here is an appropriate place on the forum to post this. I took my D610 into a club last night. We'd had a lot to drink and had been taking photos all evening and continued to do so in the club. I took photos of my friends but as the night went on, other people started asking me to take their photo and in my jolly state i was happy to oblige.
Half way through the night the bouncers confiscated my camera. I was happy to comply with their order to stop taking photos, nonetheless they wouldn't let me put my camera in the cloakroom with my luggage, instead insisting i leave it in their 'hut' at the entrance to the club. When my camera was returned all the photos taken in the club had been deleted. They didn't tell me they'd done this, just sent me on my way.
I appreciate it was naive to think I'd be okay using a dlsr in a nightclub without prior permission (I had had a lot to drink), nonetheless I'm not sure the club were strictly legal in confiscating my camera and deleting my photos without consulting me first.
I'm interested to know what you guys think. My non-photography friends are polarised. Some think the club had no right to confiscate and delete, others think they had every right. Any thoughts?
Many thanks
Peety
