"Eddie",
don't worry......if you read through this thread you will see that a lot of different aspects and opinions was written....
In facts, it is important, that photographer are there....they frame not only the history....they also create you a memory from the great time you had at the salt....
Talking about photographer, sorry, but there is a different between the photos the teams himself can make or at the level Larry (hotrod), some other and maybe myself can shoot....
especially if you try to catch a racer at 400+ mph.....
the real problem is - and this was discussed before, here on Landracing.....
Some years ago, there was only a handful (pro) photographer around......in the last years there was hundreds who got the wrist band and run around in the starting line area....
the few we had for a long time, knew to do their job....and took care and respect each other....this now photographer, using smartphones, has not the clue what to do, disturbing the starting process and create risk to be hurt...and finally they "destroy" the chance of the pro's to get the right picture when they, as Larry wrote before, run into the view......or in your camera equipment....
if this folks, don't knowing the "law" how to do right...now would start with drones in the same way....this would be more than a disaster......it would effect the safety of all of us extremely....
so in this way, maybe your note was on the right time that the issue "drones" at the salt can be clarified before the season starts....
By the way, there are the photo gallery's from Ray the Rat and myself here on Landracing....there you can see the right stuff (means photography)
