Question as stated in title. I'm going, and am probably going to spend the majority of my time in the lot. What about you all? Are you bringing your cameras or just going up to relax and enjoy the show? I'm definitely bringing mine, although I still need a way to sneak my 70-200 2.8 in, cuz it's definitely longer than the 6" they allow. I think I'm gonna cover it in black gaffers tape so that when I'm shooting with it, it will be less noticeable. Anyone else have good plans to sneak in their gear?

Not going to the DCI World Finals. Did go to the quarterfinals, though, with a XTi and a 70-300mm IS USM.

Worked from seats around the football field goal lines as close to the field as possible, around ten rows back, with the camera at ISO 800-1600. Shutter speed at 1/160 or higher works best. Put the camera in an ordinary bag - not a camera bag - and no one cared.
