Since I’ve been in California for the Summit, I’ve had a lot of people try to photobomb my photospheres, probably because they think I’m shooting video on my phone. I’m not sure how to tell them that if they do show up, they’ll show up with three legs, faceless, or otherwise mutated, since photobombers just won’t stand still.
So far, I’ve just scrapped my photospheres.

Oh gosh. Photobombing is all part of the young bustling culture we have nowadays. Only if you ask, but otherwise everyone just naturally gravitates to a camera, and it becomes too difficult to even get a regular candid shot.
On the plus side, I would like to see some of these mutations maybe, I always have a hearty laugh seeing aliens and fun things.
Photobombing is when you jump into the back of someone’s picture, usually with a huge smile on your face. Like this…
Thanks @JosephDewey for little article and clue in what some of you were up too at the summit. Enjoy and can’t wait to see more pics… Also which photosphere do you prefer.
Even though I have a Ricoh, I prefer taking Photospheres on my Pixel. For me, it’s the ultimate device for photospheres. Here’s one I took today on my Pixel in Salinas: https://photos.app.goo.gl/N2PY3cNBnzrrJVgr1
@JosephDewey I had some people who joined in photos at the summit. I didn’t even realize it until after I reviewed the picture at the end of the day. I think it really is part of the American culture to do these things and think it’s ok. My daughter was working on her own film project last month at Golden Gate Park. Parents kept trying to get their children into the shot or even themselves. It boggles my mind why people do this. I just wish I had some really good photoshopping skills to get them out of my pictures.
@Twister411 That’s interesting. Now that you mentioned it, the only person who ever photobombed one of my pictures since I moved to Thailand was an American.
And in Thailand, everyone takes turns at the viewpoint, so everyone can get a great picture. I remember thinking that was so different than what I was used to, from when I was in America.
the terrorist now also bombing our photos, what a cruel world. Shoot back witch your cam
@JosephDewey I think we’ve gone crazy here. If I notice anyone taking a picture I step back. I don’t want to be part of their moment.
It was funny that Kim and I were taking a picture in front of the podium on Wednesday. When people realized they walked into our shot they immediately apologized and tried to move out of the way fast. We invited them to join. I noticed how extremely resoectful everyone was at the summit.
