I think it was this past Pennsic, someone popular was getting an award in a big court with a bunch of dignitaries on stage (probably our kingdom court). Someone near the front was having trouble getting photos. My baroness, ever practical, left her seat on the stage, took her subject's camera, returned to her throne (or whatever the baronial equivalent is called) and snapped a few pictures before giving the camera back.
I found it amusing.
But I wouldn't have a problem with banning cameras from certain events or procedures. Also, we have some very good semi-pro photographers in my region, we could designate one the official photographer and ask everyone else to refrain (in exchange for access to the "official" photos). Also court would be nicer without cell phones, plastic pens, and electric lights...but that's another rant.
