Dan Phillips from IGN named "Michael's Boner" the tenth most awkward moment of the show, noting that, "The camera holds the others' reactions just long enough to drive home the awkwardness of the scene, making you want to crawl inside of a hole along with the rest of the cast".
But, as Mr Kurlansky notes, the cameras were not always benign: to be filmed it helped either to be violent or to be the victims of violence.That, of course, is a lesson well learned by today's anti-globalists.
As has been noted, the camera exaggerates perspective, and this exaggeration adds to the dramatic effect.
As the photographer Dorothea Lange noted, "The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera".
Note the camera pan to the left which is best recognized from the horizontal shift of the background.
Hell, I took the above super-classy photo while I was flying (Note the camera lens hiding in the nook of my elbow).
Also of note, the camera does HDR video as well, helping it operate in a variety of uneven light conditions, which field of view comes in a trio of different settings up to 90-degrees.
There were sticky notes on the camera saying "Look at the fucking lens".
The film notes that the camera was discovered after the attack not by investigators but by teenagers from the area — another reminder of just how tragically inadequate the official Russian response to this crisis was.
In the review of White's book on Lincoln's Second Inaugural, Byrd notes that the camera operator who took "the only extant photograph of Abraham Lincoln delivering a speech" somehow produced an out-of-focus result.
