An explanation about the banning of DSLR's

Madness!! Absolutle madness!!
To see that sign along with the interview comments by BJP and this Wendy Neville clearly demonstrates that there are only 2 paths you can lead this stupendous debate down....
The first is, that those individuals who manipulated this regulation together are either sooo dense, so incompetent, that they genuinely mean that the DSLR ban, really is due to 'time wasters' as stated, through their narrow eyes, tripods do take little more time to set up and I can believe that the list of people wanting to view the underground is well in its thousands. In that case why not ban tripods?? But not, they've displayed a sign that relates nothing to do with what the interview comments that had been published. They are either really that stupid.....

OR.. Secondly..... The TRUTH is not bieng told!! If they have concerns regarding terrorism (why in a disused underground I will never know) or fraud (potential profitable sales in 'new' pictures to the industry), then they should have the ****ing bollox to project that reputable standard that presents a 'no ********, this is how it is'!! campaign.
It's absolute self confirmed case of 'beating around the bush'...

They should tell the truth in what they want from people..... And make it CLEAR!!
IMO, if cameras are to be seperated according to its type, then ALL camera's should be banned!!

Silly potential example.......
'Due to the high performance engines and excessive BHP, V8 engines are strictly forbidden to exceed 50mph at all times' :D :D :D
 
Thought you'd like it Dan...........total Bollox isn't it?

You'll probably find this happening more and more and you'll end up having to have a permit just to buy one, just like you do a gun!!
 
To be honest Kev, I'm glad that you've shown me this.... but it done half **** me off!!
I understand the principal of control, without control there would be chaos... fact!
but, who's in control? How, and what grants those individuals to determine what's right and what's wrong without opinion of those in question?? Tossers!!! :mad: :mad:
 
................and if you follow the link even more restrictions, slrs with interchangeable lenses over six inches Ha so what will they do with the Oly Pen etal? oh and definitely NO video cameras so that means you'd best not take your I phone either..........:D:D:D

..............and the madness goes on and on....
 
HAHAHA!!! Boners!! lol
My Oly should be alright then..... It's widdy!! (the Oly that is guys) :D :D
 
That's Chicken Oriental !
What is this world coming to? Good job I wasn't planning on going to Kuwait anytime soon.......lol
 
This appeared later, but think that somewhere, someone actually started this off in the first place, it is in reality something that some misguided twonk of a politician could feasibly come up with as a good idea in the name of terrorist prevention, privacy etc. etc.

Kuwait's ban on DSLRs was a hoax - British Journal of Photography

The question is of course if you were holidaying in Kuwait, and on your wages Dan that is when not if :D:D:D would you be prepared to find out if it were a hoax or not........:D:D
 
EErrrrrrmmm..... Probably not Kev, I think they've got a different way of thinking out there!
My old man spent a total of 12 months out in the Gulf war and he said, 'it's not the type of country you'd want to get onto the wrong side of the authority with'........ lol
 
Not necessarily Steve,
Compacts have come a long way these days and and can out perform most older slr's.
My Oly DSLR has 12mp 4/3 sensor, picture quality is very good, and yet, I'd get turned away because of what it is over an idividual who would be permitted to bring in a.... Let's say a Xpro1, which contains a 16mp sensor, and produces outstanding quality photos.
I think it's a load of bull if you ask me.
