Phone is enough from the pavement. Flash off, drone in the bag, no tripod on the kerb. A long lens is a hassle in a packed row and you will hit someone. Stand Octagon-side kerb if you want the line, not a studio. I will not invent a photography fee. Street is free. Be small.
Long lens on pavement is fine if you are not swinging it. Roof climbing is not. We kept the camera at the hip. Fine.
If you also do Maligawa, camera bag at the shoe counter is your problem, not theirs. They will not watch it. Leave it or skip the courtyard.
