Thus, he waited until the last day of the festival to shoot the panorama, just in case a catastrophic mishap would break his camera (in which case he wouldn't have been able to shoot more panoramas of the Sziget Festival 2007).How/Technical details: Aldo's words:
"I came to the festival with my relatively new S5, which had already endured some somewhat 'dangerous' shots, especially above water (eg http://flickr.com/photos/aldo/1180624196/)...At least more danger than I am used to putting my camera in ;-). Armed with a plastic bag and a roll of duct tape, I entered into the Body wash. I made a hole at the bottom of the plastic bag, to fit the front element of my Sigma 8mm through, and taped it water tight. Only the front element, and enough of the barrel to attach the lens cap to, protruded from the bottom of the bag. Now, I could hold the camera as usual, through the top opening of the plastic bag, with the rest of the bag wrapped around my lower arm, to stop water from coming in that way. While shooting the panorama I always had the lens cap close, and I put it on inbetween shots and when people came close; foam on the front element would have meant I'ld have to stop shooting to clean the lens. I would recommend people trying this 'at home', because it's a lot of fun ;-) Just don't come running to me if you get your camera wet. Or if you get into trouble for taking photos of mostly nude people for that matter.
There's a funny thing about Sziget: people WANT to have their picture taken! There are no model release forms on the island..." Links:
