Tripods and monopods in Italian museums, monopod shutter speed rule

Hello all,
I'm off to Italy for a week in August.
My camera equipment and tripod will come with me.
I've read that a lot of museums will not allow tripods.
If this is the case, will they allow monopods, that stand close to the
body?
Also, does anyone know a shutter speed rule to use with monopods?
ie. at 100 ISO, the old 35mm standard for hand held was
shutterspeed = 1/focal length of lense.
Thanks

Try ISO 400 film with a fast(f.2.8 if possible, Wide angle inside
museums)lens, or if digital, set for as fast an ISO as you can get
without creating imaging noise. I was able to use a 'shoulder pod',
which is a collapsible shoulder camera holder, such as 'Bush Hawk',
about $USD 100 in museums, worked well. Tripods can be used in some
smaller museums with a permit, cameras may also require a permit.
Tripod was OK in St. Peter, not in the Vatican museum.

In article <1154383317.623374.60270@m73g2000cwd.googlegroups.com>,
I have a camera with image stabilization. It's not a substitute for a
tripod.
The bigger problem, besides blurry pics, is the lack of dynamic range.
So if you go inside a cathedral and there is a small light source around
a dome, that light source will often blot out the details of the
architecture which isn't receiving the light.

They prohibit them for two reasons. One is the danger to others. The
other is to prevent you from taking a marketable photo of perhaps
copyrighted work. Therefore, I suspect any camera support is going to
be an issue.

I'm not sure. It has been several years since I looked at them, and I
never have had access to a decent film scanner, so it really never
occured to me. Even with computer correction, I wouldn't have a
projectable slide. The sad thing is that I really liked the color
rendition when they were new. It seemed very natural and netural.
Fortunately, my Kodachromes from the same era are just fine.

I've got a bunch of those 5247 slides, and mine have faded to the point that
there is virtually no image left. What the promoters of that garbage failed
to disclose is that the emulsion upon which the negatives were printed (in
order to create a positive) was not meant to have a long storage life. It
was designed to be used for a year or two, as the prints circulated among
the theaters, not to be stored as slides for decades. As I said, mine are
so badly faded that some of the slides have no image left on them at all.
It may be possible to re-print the negatives, or scan them into digital
prints, but the original slides are probably too far gone. You'd have to
see it to believe it.

Not at all. It comes to how much we believe our own needs happen to
reflect those of the population at large. Put another way, if I were in
charge of a museum, I've yet to hear anything that would even come close
to convincing me a no photography policy wasn't the way to go.

I really, really didn't want to get into this debate, but a few words
come to mind.
For many years, it depended on the race of the "man and woman" involved.
Up until the 1960s, it was the "legal union of a man and a woman of the
same race" in many states. Neil's dictionary does not define the laws of
the United States, the individual states, or other countries for that
matter.
As far as it goes, gay marriage, gays in the military, etc. I say, be
careful what you wish for...you may get it!
35mm content:
Now, having just finished what is probably my last roll of Kodachrome 64
(off in the mail in a PK36! who knows how long to get it back), I am old
enough to recall when 100 ASA was about as high as you could get. In
those days, flash or tripod was a requirement for indoor shooting, and
guess what....you couldn't do either in most museums.
There are many obvious reasons for the no flash rule. Tripods disrupt
foot traffic and present a "trip and fall" hazard. Monopods much less
so, and I think an exception should be made for them.
Unfortunately, my slides from the original Getty museum (now reborn as
the Getty Villa) were taken on 5247 in the 1970s and have changed colors
and faded to the point of being useless.
Regards,
DAve

Marriage has a legal definition that varies from state to state. If you
can't understand that, then this conversation is over.
