Friday Night 1940's Vehicle Rally
Vehicle owners, please come join us Friday evening for our 1940's vehicle rally in Conneaut. Come show off your ride! Please check the schedule and/or registration page for additional information and instructions for those who wish to participate in this unique presentation.

Battles are Life and Death Situations
Please remember that at all times during the battle (including travel on boats), spectators, camera crews, and professional video crews filming the event can observe and record your every action. Smiling, high fives, walking like your out for a Sunday stroll, and waving to the crowd takes everyone out of the moment. You are in a life and death situation; you actions, movements and expressions should reflect this. A typical spectator with a 300mm zoom or good pair of binoculars can see facial expressions of nearly every person on the field. Please put the same attention to detail into your actions as you have into your kits.

Cameras/Camcorders on the Battlefield
Combat photographers and journalists served an important role in documenting the history of the invasion and took part in the events that followed the initial landing. As many units appreciate photos of their members in action, photographers are permitted with special restrictions.

All persons in the drop/landing zone must meet the basic appearance standards described above.
Historic photo equipment is required for use on the field as a uniformed participant.
Unconcealed Modern Equipment is Not Permitted on the Battlefield!

Modern equipment may be disguised using an empty vintage camera body.  We seek to avoid marring an otherwise authentic scene with the painfully obvious sight of a modern camera being freely and openly brandished. Please keep in mind, veterans and thousands of spectators are watching and all-too-often catch modern cameras and cell phones in their photos.

Still and motion picture photographers who participate in the beach landing are invited to send a link to a location where your photos are displayed. If you provide us copies we will be happy to post them on our website credited to you for all to view.

Since this event involves a simulated beach landing, waterproof your gear accordingly. D-Day Ohio, Inc. is not responsible for any damaged or lost camera equipment or film.

D-Day Has Staff Photographers!
Please refrain from being tempted to take out your camera in the mists of battle.  If you can see people, they can see you.... and your camera.  D-Day has gathered a team of professional photographers who will be canvassing the event.  Watch for our "guys in official photographer" shirts.  Images they collect will be proudly displayed in our online gallery were reenactors and visitors can order inexpensive professionals quality prints or digital copies.  Sales of these prints help support this event.

If you or your group would like to schedule a planned "unit photo", please contact our photography coordinator, Wayne Heim for more information.

Commercial Photography:
Commercial/professional photographers using non-vintage equipment who wish to request an inside-the-ropes access to shoot images for commercial usage should contact our official photography coordinator for information, fees and restrictions.
