Cantina Hussong in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico
  •  Comment I don't think the photographer is distracting here. He's well hidden behind his camera so you can't see his eyes or face, in this photo he's a nobody. Yes, people are aware they are being photographed, could probably have said something if they were uncomfortable about it and we would not see this photo here. It's not like the photographer is skulking with his mobile in a sly way. If you dress up for a night out today, you are aware that there are cameras everywhere. I also think that the wow and artistry overcomes all technical nitpicking here. It's an impressionist photo. For some strange reason we even create blurs of water or panning blur, but anything else moving is intolerable. --Cart (talk) 10:39, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • The main subject of this photograph is the photographer. All the action is centered here, around this camera. "What's this photographer doing ?" is the main question coming before we understand there's a mirror behind. So "not distracting" and "well hidden" couldn't be more wrong, IMO.The fact that there are cameras everywhere today is absolutely not relevant to justify the intrusion here, and I wish these cameras can take better pictures . 6400 ISO is far too noisy, and in the context the level of blurriness suggests a drunk operator -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:38, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes I think this is an obvious feeling you normally have when you see a photographer taking part of the party and shooting among so many bottles. I'm not saying this is the reality and I don't "attack" anyone. I specified "in the context", since here the technical problem of this lens opening at f/4, creating noise & blur, gives this feeling. Even if the operator has only drunk water, that's the natural thought coming in mind unfortunately -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:33, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Doesn't work for me. Basile putting into words my thoughts better than I ever can. -- KTC (talk) 11:43, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Reducing this image to its technical shortcomings doesn't do it justice. Unlike most static architecture or landscape shots this scene can't be easily re-created. While most images that make it to FP are of outstanding technical quality, very few of them tell a story. And I think that's an achievement of its own right. At first I was opposed to the idea of the photographer being part of the image. On second thought Tomas' incidental self portrait helps the viewer to understand that the scence was taken against a mirror. I'd also like to point out that I wholeheartedly disagree with Basile's unnecessary personal attack. This kind of behaviour is unfitting of a frequent contributor to COM:FPC.

  •   If you don't understand the idea I explain, it's not complicated. Imagine a picture from a boat with the horizon tilted. What do you guess ? The photographer is sick or the boat induces this tilt ? The second solution probably. So that's the same here, except that the problem is created by the equipment -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:23, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
