A Band-Aid for smart phones
A Band-Aid for smart phones
Frist off I would like to say hello to the group as this is
my first post.
As we all know when it comes to smart devices with cameras.
There are two camps one.
They should not be used at nudist activates at all.
And two I should be able to carry it were ever I go.
As I see it the main concern is not the devices them selfs.
Its the built in cameras.
I think I may have come up with a solution. You know throes
little Band-Aids, that are all ways found in the bottom of the can, too small
for much of anything.
Turns out they are just the thing for covering camera lenses
the gauze wont scratch lens.
I tried this on my Kendal Fire and it worked well. Think of it like carrying a towel, etiquette/
common courtesy.
If we take the cameras out of the equation there would be
nothing to worry about these devices.
So what do you think?
I agree with AndyDi completely. I've not been to a place yet that requires stickers or tape over the camera of a cell phone or tablet. They do say they shouldn't be used but that's a rule that is pretty much ignored by the vast majority of people - myself included. What I see most of the time are people using their devices with them lying flat on a table or up against their legs. I've never felt like I was getting photographed - maybe I'm not photo worthy though - and after my first time with my cell phone there, I never worried about it. But we the nudist community need to get real and repeal all those rules that outlaw the devices totally or require us to place sticky stuff over our lenses. What we need are people who will not be afraid of calling attention to those who are unwisely using the camera function to record others. Just alert management and that should take care of it. A warning for the first time and then out they go with maybe a ban of at least a couple of months before they are allowed back. Any repeat after that and admittance would be permantly banned.

You're missing the point of why younger people of the digital generation want their cell phones AND the cams in them.I agree with some of what said. I do enjoy having my cellphone with me to text or just listen to music if Im relaxing. I like to take photos of myself when Im doing nudist activities in which I post on here. As you can see from my pictures mine are often selfies of me, it is often just a way to keep the memory alive. Also this is my only form of social media I dont go posting my naked photo on Facebook or others lol.I have no interest In taking pictures of others and if I did I would ask permission for them to be in my photo.I would be upset if I was forced to leave myPhone or unable to take photos. But rules are rules.
Agree to all of that. Today the phone is just part of our life and I also do take pics to keep the memory alive. And I often do take pics of the area I am in so I can share it with other nudists. I do never do close ups so you would never identify anybody in the pics.
I've kept my phone in my truck when visiting resorts - just to avoid any issues. It would be nice to have my phone, but I'm not tethered to it like the younger generations, so it's much easier for me.
I agree with updating policies for staying connected, especially for the "full-time" resortist & younger peeps!
All this seems to be a cross between a storm in a teacup and a hammer to crack a nut in my opinion.
I have taken photographs and videos at nude beaches, clubs, holiday centres and other gatherings quite openly and without having anybody ever giving me trouble. The rule usually is that you are not allowed to take pictures of anybody who has not given you permission.
For example the photography rule at Euronat, one of the bigger nude holiday centres in Europe states -It is forbidden to take photographs or videos by any means (this includes with mobile phones) without the permission of those in the viewfinder.
