This was the first thing that I visualized upon first reading this page... poor quality I know, but I'm not exactly sure how to find these images.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Essentially any kind of military or police personnel (often in a martial law state), covering the cameras of reporters or civilians, for whatever national security or ongoing investigation purposes... or because they just don't want to be filmed, or something like that

I'm sure we can come up with something for this, but you're right, those are too artifacted to use.

Tried to find people with trope pages. I think they have pages.

Can't see 3.1, 3.3 seems the best so far... I love his expression directed towards the camera. 3.4 is just a facepalm, and 3.5 is way too artifacted.

5.1 is the clearest of them but the camera is still hard to see.

I like 3.3 because he is so clearly furious, and it would only take a little nudge from the caption to establish that it's because of the camera that took this picture. Unlike some of the others it doesn't depend on recognizing the subject at all, but knowing he's a celebrity (specifically, an actor) makes it even better.

[tup] 3.3 only because what I really want,(a pic of some brutal cop punching out a cameraman/bystander) is unavailable ATM.

7.1 is HUEG [lol] It's very interesting but alot is going there, I thought the dude was trying to cop a pic of her butt, at first! tongue

7.2 is clear, but as she is kicking the guy just holding the camera, it falls flat to me.

I feel like we need to see the camera actually harassing the victim.

That's exactly what I've been looking for the whole time! grin

Can we find a similar live action version?

Or can someone just take a picture, themselves?

Good image, so it's up, potholed, tagged and listed on Image Source.

Caption or no?

Doesn't strike me as a good caption. Not sure what it adds.

This was what i'm talking about... IDK why I never thought of it sooner... or just why it could be too similar between the corresponding trope page image. sad

Caption: "Okie-doke Uh... shut the camera off.... Yeah, Shut it off... SHUT! IT! OFF!"

No consensus on a caption; locking up.
