POLL: Is there an opportunity here?

[Sheiky]

hmmm let me think expensive camera gear, drunk crowds, beer, hmmm that would be a NO

Very good point.

Wussies [:P] There will be a lot of missed opportunities if you think that way. Of course it is never wrong to be carefull, but you could be too carefull. The most impressive photos are often those where a little risk was taken.


But to get back on the point. I voted option 2, but I honestly don't know what the event is exactly. My guess is that you could get a few good opportunities, but are they worth something? Probably a lot of them won't even watch for your photos and the other part may download it, but will never look back on your site. I really doubt it that they would pay for party-photos, so that's definitely a no to me.


To be honest, if you're going to do it, do it for your own pleasure. I really doubt it that your business will profit from it. Don't go there expecting too much from it. A few will remember your name, but if it is worth it...


But if you don't have anything better to do that time...I would go...[:P]

Hey thanks everyone for your input!


Yeah I think I'll do what I was thinking from the start, which is just go and bring my camera and see what happens. I might just take a few photos and head home, or maybe start passing out cards and shooting shots, but I really think that it isn't the best business opportunity, just wanted to see if anyone saw it differently. I need to make the most of any opportunities I can. There is also the FISE (Extreme Sports Games) here in Montpellier and they go from tomorrow night 'til Sunday. For that I'm DEFINITELY going to take photos, but I think that there will be Sports Photographers that work for magazines and stuff there anyhow. Eh, just for fun though!


Thanks again everyone!!!
