Just wondering about protocol in these things.
A friend/colleague of mine, Carol, shows Rottweilers and has showed me a few pictures of her dogs which are very poor quality. They are gorgeous dogs and she is becoming very succesful at the shows - or at least they are.
We're not talking Crufts here, just local shows.
Anyway, I do photography and have all the kit and after seeing her pics of her beloved pooches, I said I would do some for her with the dogs at work, rest and play.
September 11th is a fairly local show and I've arranged to go with camera kit and lenses for some in-show shots. Does anyone know the protocol for this regarding taking pictures at said events?
I assume it is ok as she has invited me, but is it ok to do them as they "show" or whilst "on parade" or does it have to be outside the judging circle or environment? I don't want to go getting anyone in trouble or causing a paparazzi-style incident!
Also, might seem a silly question, but is flash photography allowed? - I can shoot without flash if necessary.
I'm sure a few of you out there will have or currently show your pooches and I wondered how easy it is to photograph. Maybe Carol can get me some sort of visitors pass for up-close stuff?
Any help appreciated.
