8 situations where it is not necessary to photograph
A Life / / December 19, 2019
The camera is with us today, always and everywhere: it is our camera phone or tablet. And in any event, many of the readers of "Layfhakera" also take with a digital "soap-box", or SLR camera bezzerkalku. But whether you want to take pictures of everything is always happening? That's a minimum of 8 situations in which it is better to refrain from shooting.
1. The funeral. The worst possible time and place for taking pictures. No one is safe in this case from the embarrassing situation, even Barack Obama. Selfie (take pictures of yourself on your phone or camera) on a background of the mourning crowd or shooting inconsolable weeping relatives are unlikely to be useful to a normal person in the family album. Unless you're a photojournalist and do not shoot the funeral of Nelson Mandela and other public figures - generally refrain from thinking something to photograph during the funeral.
2. The person next to you was wrong. If the person next to you had a heart attack, he had a seizure, incoherent speech, or an unexplained outbreak anger - most likely, he needed immediate medical attention, not necessarily shooting or fixation on video. Call an ambulance and started to give him medical care alone - far more important and necessary than to quickly send a scandalous picture in social networks.
3. You witnessed a large-scale accident. The first is a normal reaction to the human epoch Facebook and Twitter - it's an ambulance, police and firefighters. The first reaction (unfortunately) many people "generation of social networks" - is to climb into his pocket for a smartphone and remove the "how awesome is burning." It distinguishes the human from the ape sense of social responsibility and a willingness to quickly come to the aid of even those whom you do not know personally. Keep this in mind.
4. Shooting or armed conflict. Here again photographed photojournalist agencies and journalists, stringers, but not casual onlookers. Casual onlookers is necessary as it is possible to find shelter quickly lie down on the floor and hide in a nearby building, and just get out of the area of direct flame. Your life - the most valuable thing you have. If you're unlucky and you are in the zone of military conflict, shooting or terrorist attack, first of all take care of personal safety and security of those who are near you. Sensational pictures are best left to professionals.
5. Fight. First, call the police and to draw public attention and residents of neighboring houses, and then You will take pictures (if you can certainly explain why you pictures of how some people break up face others).
6. People around you are eating. There is a long-standing rule: "glasses and plates up - lenses down." During the consumption of food people are not in control of facial expressions, gestures and hardly attractive look. Shooting in restaurants and cafes without the consent of the people especially forbidden (sometimes administration institutions, sometimes - just ethical considerations of the photographer).
7. Shower or locker room. I think needless to explain why, surrounded by half-naked men, even one with your floor, take photos in a strange way. The exception may be the beautiful girl in an empty locker room :)
8. Public places where photography is prohibited. We can agree with the prohibition of the administration of supermarkets and shopping centers, we can not disagree, but respect their demand is still necessary. Churches and mosques often also have a ban on photography, as well as in many of the sacred places of different religions and cultures. At airports and customs control also have a room where you can not take photography - and this, too, must accept. Do not risk your appliances and do not provoke conflict with the administration, security, police, customs officials and clergymen.
Make relevant interesting pictures and do not be pushy enthusiast - this is most important.
