An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

A character takes a picture with a camera, and the photo develops, revealing that the picture taker had his/her finger(s) on the lens or left the lens cap on, obscuring the intended target of the photo. Bonus points if the camera in question is a SLR camera, because the viewfinder uses a mirror and prism to show the exact view through the lens, requiring a truly monumental level of stupidity. Usually fully justified when the camera in question in a vintage viewfinder camera. Examples of Camera Obscurer include:

Usually fully justified when the camera in question in a vintage viewfinder camera. This can still occur in the age of digital cameras, if the person has only a limited opportunity to photo their intended target and can't afford the time to review their settings before taking the shot. Not to be confused with the Camera Obscura. Nor should it be confused with the Camera Obscura, from which this trope derives its name. Examples of Camera Obscurer include:
