Photography at the Olympics

[jamiebae]

So what are the facts?

I'm told anything you take must fit into a bag 30x20x20cm and large lenses are not permitted if you're within the park itself, but in public areas (the cycle road race for example) you can do what you want, right?!

You're also only allowed to use the images for personal use, and can publish them on social media but that's about it. Does this still apply to events outside the actual venues?

Confused of Oxfordshire!

It's a good question

For the venues, what constitutes a 'large lens'?

I appreciate they don't want people carrying 500mm lenses on monopods, but is any lens in the size restricted bag ok?



Anyone spotted some detailed rules?

You're welcome. I think the regulation is still very unclear though....

Guessing it's photo equipment 30cm in length, not disassembled?
So they don't want people with cumbersome kit walking around...


...I guess?
