My apologies I thought I was contributing with something people might find interesting.
Since rangefinders seem to be most often used as street cameras, I thought this was relevant.

I'd rather be out doing it in the real world, but it was interesting to look at.

Do the virtual characters get p-ssed off when you try to take their pictures?

For some of us, it isn't an act.
It'll happen to you some day, too, if all goes well 🙂

I saw this posted elsewhere and thought it was interesting.
I know I've read about people doing the same in other games but the detail levels and the more realistic people in this title tend to make it a little more "real life" in some ways.
There have been other games with cameras, some that the whole point is to photograph things, usually monsters or ghosts, but this is the first time I think that the game was realistic enough that the photos felt like they were shot by a photographer of subjects in a world and not just candids in-game by coincidence.
I honestly would not be surprised if this created a new mode, genre or similar where people could wander virtual worlds that exist online and buy/use cameras in those games. I wouldn't even be surprised if Rockstar added some real cameras into the game to shoot, with lenses and adjustments for aperture etc. Maybe not in this version of GTA but as they advance their detail and realism, who knows.
In some ways, this is also kind of paradoxical (is that the right word?) since there are forms of "hunting" in the real world that one uses a specialized gun mount for a camera so they can "shoot" photos.
This person is shooting photos using a camera in a game where "shooting people" with gun is the norm.
Inception anyway?

I just thought of a game - 'The Decisive Moment', featuring skittish characters doing all sorts of random, interesting things, your goal being to capture scenes that have an intrinsic score based upon geometry, internal repetitions of theme and form, and so on.
Some of the subjects are armed, and want to kill you if you take their photo.
As you acquire points, you can buy a camera with a quieter shutter!

as soon as I started playing GTA V I created a Facebook page for GTA V Street Photography, but ended up not feeding it much with photos so I was kinda "oh man, could have been mine on the spotlight", but it's alright 🙂

Perhaps the thing I find most interesting about the posted photos is how much the art direction in the game lends itself to an Edward Hopper-esque feeling. One in the set perfectly marries Hopper and Cartier-Bresson for me.
