Okay, so Sony has a new camera that recognizes smiles. Now I could make some comment about how if the person behind the camera can't recognize a smile they must be in art school or be a 20-year newspaper veteran, but that just seems cruel.
So, instead, I give you the other shutter releases I would like to see on cameras ...
- Tree Branch/Telephone Pole Shutter - Waits for it to fall down or blow over in a hurricane before releasing the shutter.
- Zebra Crossing Shutter - Waits for referees to move out of the frame before firing.
- Paparazzi Shutter - Only fires when (in)famous people do stupid things in semi-public places.
- Golden Hour Shutter - Will only activate when the color temperature is below 4300 degrees Kelvin (which is sunrise or sunset).
- James Nachtwey Shutter - Waits for you to have at least three layers of information of a relevant issue to a world-wide audience.
- Double-Truck Shutter - Will only fire when your composition allows for a gutter through the center of the frame.
- Stan Grossfeld Burn Shutter - Will only fire when the sky is overcast to allow you to burn it down to black later.
- Annie Liebovitz Shutter - Fired only after you have sweet-talked some celebrity into doing something totally out of character.
- The HCB/Decisive Moment Shutter - In honor of Henri Cartier-Bresson, only fires when it recognizes “both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning.”

The Poverty Shutter - only fires when someone who earns less than $10,000 a year is in the frame. Also automatically sets the color mode to black and white. Not so great, as I end up getting a lot of photos of myself if I walk by any reflective surfaces.
