Very few people take photo's at these shows other than the official photographer for Budgie News Magazine. My suggestion would be to talk to the Show Manager, to seek his approval. My guess - no photographs until AFTER the national team is selected, No flash and to take the photo well back from the cage. This show is a selection event for the Nationals a week later, anything that jeopardises a birds placing in the Victorian team would be disastrous. Are you planning on being at the Young Bird Shield?? Link to comment

Do you know what time it starts/finishes? I might be able to get there for part of it but not all... As for photo's, I figured it would be something like that (wait till the end) I will definately check prior to whipping out the camera and clicking away Your a judge arn't you Heathrow? You wouldn't like a camera in your face while your judging a bird? It could be a fantstic shot. :rofl: Link to comment
