Potentially Disturbing Content Smartphones watch us when we let our guard down

Would you dare to share the other side of you?

Interesting documentary photography from your iPhone Gianluca. They're so smart now,...no hands needed.

 

[Stevenson Gawen]

Very nice shots Gianluca... I would share a couple but can't find them.... few and far between in my case!

 

[Gianluca Drago]

Of course the photos are not from my smartphone, I can be narcissistic, but not to this extent. It is my wife who steals these shots without my knowledge.

<--- Right here is about as anyone sees of me in a photo. The Internet never forgets.

 

[Stevenson Gawen]

I found one!


Still from in-car video, sent to me by the driver.
I sent this one back...

She has a good eye!

Nice connected pair of shots! You could be excused for thinking that your tripod would become a meal for that Subaru!

 

[Stevenson Gawen]

tripod would become a meal for that Subaru!

Yes... it was set up with my EM5ii recording video on it. I set up at what I considered the "probably safe" point, albeit closer I was going to put myself. All fine, but you never know...

This isn't a smartphone shot, but I felt it seemed appropriate, if not exactly very good technicaly speaking @Gianluca let me know if it's off topic.

That's me nearer the camera, and friend Bill on his 'EV' behind. He's very up to date as he no longer drives internal combustion engined vehicles, or so he tells me.
We're lit almost entirely by a new-ish Moon.

My A7s is on the tripod at left, photo taken with my D750 resting on a folding stool that I had been sitting on. f2.8, 1sec. ISO51200 (aka HI2)

A beautiful candid scene, @Stevenson Gawen.

What an interesting thread, Gianluca. It is great to see you (and the others) absorbed in what you enjoy. I suspect there are a few of me somewhere (aside from my 'Avatar' - taken by @Blanka Kolinke some years ago). I'll see if I can find some.

I am honoured that you like my proposal @Pete Askew!
@Stevenson Gawen, he overcame his reluctance and posted a very sweet self-portrait, that I love. I again invite anyone interested to post photos here, in this thread, of him/her at work, no matter if taken with a mobile phone or camera.

In the meantime, here is a silly 'self-portrait with heron and kitchen utensils' taken just now for your amusement.

When I was building hot-rods / race / customs for years - we would also do magazine builds. It is always quite entertaining being the subject of photo/video when you are used to being behind the camera.

I think the funniest part of it - was one of the editors I worked with frequently (editor for Street Rodder, Vette, Super Chevy, and a couple others at the time) had been in the magazine business for decades and never changed his mentality on how to use the camera to take advantage of the digital gear he was now using. It was still very much a "film" mentality as far as things like aperture and exposure. Everything was shot at as low ISO as possible and longer than necessary exposures - despite the modern cameras being able to more than do the job at higher ISOs. When I would work with some of the other staff I could coax them into something like ISO400 so that way I wasn't standing holding poses all day for 10 minutes of work.
