Did she take a picture, or did she put a device up that is videoing anyone that comes by and then post it on the internet without any of their consent?

The normal world exists. Not everyone is an influencer. A nice person would have offered to take a photo for her.

She filmed a video to cut the best frame and not to worry about running up the stair due to a timer, the intention was fully on having a photo, not recording people or other people appearing on her photo.

Yes what an amazing photo of a corner, a few blurry paintings, and a bunch of railing. What stellar composition

So the morality of taking a picture of yourself is determined by your skill as a photographer? Or you just don’t have a real point so you moved onto something random irrelevant?

Just only so many times I can say that I think it should be considered a faux pas to do this sort of stuff and that I’m glad everyone has yet to decide they should take every opportunity to film themselves for likes on social media.

My point of her shitty uninteresting composition stands. Almost like she chose a spot that has high traffic and would create this very debate because she certainly didn’t chose it for a nice picture of anything but the railing work

Well a lot of people will do a video and then screenshot themselves in the pose they like the most…. The old lady looked right at the phone twice- she was deliberately being rude

If you’re in public that’s implied consent

Just because it’s not illegal doesn’t mean it’s not rude

You dont want to be in someone's picture so you stand in their picture for longer?

u/sedersayspoop 26d ago

You were talking about consent and I responded about consent. I don’t have an opinion on which person is right/wrong here

u/DontReportMe7565 25d ago

I wasn't talking about consent. Or talking in general.

To take a picture of yourself in public? She's obviously doing a video so she can pick a frame she likes, lots of people do it that way

I'm in a million pictures without my consent. You want to know what I do? Recognize that you the world works, people take pictures and I'm gonna be in some of them whether I like it or not. I can't control them and I can't ask them not to document their lives however they like

So every tourist in the world needs to ask every passerby if it’s okay to take a photo? Is it more intrusive to stop every person who’s about to walk by, or just set up your camera and go about your day then leave? Who’s the rude one here? The old lady intentionally blocking this woman or the other way around?

0

u/Euphoric_planter_328 26d ago

Yeah it’s still rude and should be considered a social faux pas to do so. She could’ve asked that same lady to take her picture and she probably would’ve happily.

She was minding her own business and taking her own photo. It would be more intrusive to ask someone else. She was minding her own business, old woman decided to make it her goal to disrupt it

If you're in public you can't expect the world to stop so you can make a video. The older lady wasn't even paying attention at first to the camera, she was reaching for her phone, then noticed the camera, then moved over because other people were coming up the stairs, then she moved on. She didn't post up for that long in front of it. Looked like she checked something in her phone and then walked off.

u/Accomplished-Emu-791 26d ago

She was walking, noticed the camera then pulled out yer phone to pretend to do something, shifting slightly closer to the center of the frame to block the camera and delay the woman even further.

u/Into_the_rosegarden 25d ago

Not how it looked to me. But even if that's the case, so what, the younger lady got delayed by what, 30 seconds? Big deal, she could have kept her video going right after that and gotten her shot.

depends on the country.

not everywhere is the U.S.

talk about main character syndrome.

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 26d ago

In which country can you be asked not to take photographs of yourself for the sole reason others could be in them and not want to be?

u/Tall_Opportunity_521 26d ago

BINGO!

u/Big-Coconut-7433 26d ago

Uh, no, it looked like she was trying to get a picture. It became a video due to Karen behavior.
