Why Asians Love Cameras
So, a couple of nights ago we found ourselves at this place called Scratchers. This was mentioned in my post I made on Saturday. Not too many exciting things have happened since then but I as I uploaded pictures from that night I thought about why it is whenever you see a group of Asians there's always a barrage of picture taking
It's like a damn light fight, each shot being taken with an abundance of "tee-heehees" directly retaliated by another salvo of migraine inducing flashes and giggle-giggle-laughlaughs. Oh well, at least they're (we'ew) having fun. Blissfully ignorant to the long term effects of cataracts and the like.
I'm most certain that this picture taking melee can be to the chagrin of those around said Asians but I seriously don't mind or care. They're (we'ew) having ersatz tomfoolery and they're not. Well, unless they're another group of annoying giggling boobs.
I'm obviously one of 'those guys' that take a myriad of pictures. As a self-delcared camoré (camera + whore; pronounced in a french accent) you'll often find me taking pictures of seemingly useless items or from the oddest vantage points. I don't apologize for this behavior though. Someone's gotta do it and it might as well be a person with a good camera who can take pictures without a flash...

I don't think you understand the point of the picture taking... It's in order to wash their faces out with the flash. They look "cuter" that way, becuase it washes out flaws like pimples, moles, noses, other features that might distinguish them from anyone else you might find on myspace.
Looking at that picture, you can see the beginnings of undeniable heartache and disappointment. I'll bet after you took the picture and tilted the camera down as a signal that you were finished, they all sat, stuck in that pose for a solid 30 seconds after the fact, wondering why you hadn't taken their picture...
yes indeed

contrary to popular belief - built in flashes pointed directly at people's mugs are often the worst thing for photos resulting in overexposed skin tones and flattened dimension, which lighting would normally bring out. the flash itself will actually bring OUT all the imperfections and flaws exaggerating them against the overexposed skin. now, if you have a flash that can be used at an angle or 'reflected' against a shield or filter then that's an entirely different case. why do you think it is that professional photographers never have flashes directly on top of their cameras and choose to use flashes mounted on stands - and if the flash is on the camera it's elevated a good 5-6 inches above the lens and typically aimed at a 30 degree angle.
photos taken like this use a 1.5 second exposure and I'm still using a flash-assist light (the red one) to signify the pictures not taken. not to mention I just tell countdown. you just have to have a steady hand.
the imperfections people want taken out need to be taken out post process or using photoshop.
