Marc Brubaker: Honestly, I have relatively no qualms with people using their cell phones. As a concertgoer, it can get annoying, especially if your view is frequently blocked. But as a photographer, it doesn't bother me. Sometimes it actually provides me a nice crowd shot. Either way, I know that I'm there as a pro, with the proper gear and knowledge to get me the shots I need and want.

Groovehouse: Cell-phone pics I know will be pretty shitty, so I don't really care. Cell-phone video is worse. Is the video even audible considering how loud some of these shows can be? Most of the time I will go to YouTube and look for concert videos from shows I've shot and they are pretty nonexistent. Everyone holds up a camera or a phone, but those videos and photos are almost never publicly available. Put your phones away and enjoy the show.

There are some point-and-shoot cameras that can yield a good image, but you have to know how to work your equipment to get that good image. When I see people shooting and their flashes are going off, I'm not in the least bit worried, I know those photos will mostly be of heads in the crowd.

You can't get a decent shot with a flash unless you are on the barricade, otherwise you are just going to light the people around you and they will be in focus while your subject is out of focus or not even be visible.

Jody Perry: Sure, your phone camera can take nice pix, but can it do this...

Marco Torres: I'm cool with it, I guess. If I didn't have my DSLR, I'd probably be doing the same thing. But not for the WHOLE DAMN SHOW like some rude people. I'm in the pit most nights, so I get my shots then I'm gone. What does bother me a bit more is when people take their iPad to the venue and record video on it. I think that's unfair.

Jason Wolter: It's slightly annoying that the crowd can video or photograph an entire show when we are limited to three songs. Some of the best photo opportunities come late in shows when artists have found their stride and really start to cut loose.
