Improper use of cameras in House of Cards (TV show) is hilarious

[jdeg]

I just saw this one and laughed a lot...

I mean, come on!! :eyetwitch:

That's funny

This is one of those moments where if you don't have the rest of the story it makes no sense - out of context. The man is actually shooting macro of a lady bug that has landed on this mans shoulder. It just appears that he is paparazzi.

Love this type of stuff! Its like improper use of firearms in movies. Like when someone pulls the hammer back on a Glock. Or continues to pull the trigger and you hear clicking (hammer strikes) on a hammerless pistol.

 

[Nathan Lanni]

Yeah, that's crazy.

ah yes, he appears to be adjusting the camera by grabbing the flash and grip and turning

Oh yeah, they always have the sound of the cameras wrong too. It's usually a film camera sound.

The ironic thing is one of the secondary characters in this show is a photographer. Everything up until the only scene where you actually see him with a digital camera (in which a main character used it to shoot a subject very far away when the camera clearly had a short focal length lens on it) indicated that he shot film. Everything was black and white, he was 'going to the lab', etc. Also, his studio apartment obviously housed a photographer. Look at all of those light stands, a professional grade printer, and file cabinets full of prints!

Obviously state of the art equipment that's not impeded by objects (or big ass coats) standing in the way

Doesn't have to be all that wrong - the photographer might have used a wide angle lens trying to capture man's waist to shoulder+some building, or a tree or anything like that above the man's head/shoulder.
Like here (though, from behind):

ohh! I found him 'taking pictures' of the back of heads in another scene in the same episode...



(looks like a gripped Canon)

A second later you see the flash fire, which means he was pressing the flash test button! lol :triumphant:
