Well yes, if you take photos the light from the next row Shined straight over the backdrop into your camera but also in your face when viewing the tree's not to bad but with taking pictures it was anoying but cant complain as there was no pictures allowed and everyone was making pictures so ive shot a couple as well
Yeah the spotlights were very strong, i think in person not so bad, it did give the trees a certain other-worldliness which i kinda liked. Was an insane amount of just giant, amazing trees - quite intimidating because you really feel like you are playing another sport or at least 10 leagues below haha
I only took some quick phone pics at 5pm on day 2 when it was nice and quiet so hopefully didn't get in anyones way, and yeah pretty much everyone breaks that rule a bit
I am not really clued up on how to get back issues but at least we know it was done exactly around Jan-Feb 2020 just before the pandemic - so i guess most likely the issue quite soon after that?
