Can make or break a scene! I've seen so many videos with incredibly hot chicks that were ruined due to crappy ass camerawork in general.
One of my pet peeves is EXTENDED close up shots of penetration. I don't want to just see a dick going in and out of a pussy for 5 minutes straight!! It's cool to show brief shots of penetration, but overall I want to see predominantly more medium to long shots of the girl's FULL BODY when she's doing her thing.
Super closeup facials kind of annoy me too, especially if the chick has huge boobs and you don't get to see them at the end of the scene. For me the best shot scenes focus predominantly on the hotness of the woman's body, above all else.
So i guess this thread is for venting about shitty camerawork in porn and what you prefer to see instead of five minute shots of manass :)

Yes I agree but I think it will never change until some new cameraman arrive and/or the existing cameramen leave. Most of them are completely out of sync with what I want to see at any given time within a a scene. But people are buying it, so it can't be all bad. Or maybe most viewers don't care or don't notice. At any rate, there is nothing you can do about it, other than refusing to buy it.

I also tend to think that good camera work is not something we can expect to see all that often and that;s because the people shooting the scenes are no better with a camera than you and I. I think that a good camera operator has to either learn his art in that you know how to properly frame the shot or which angle to shoot from or if the lighting is going to be an issue in the shot. Mind you most people are shooting gonzo porn these days and the action is so predictable that the only thing the viewer isn`t sure about is which shot will be first.

My advice to you is avoid Mike Adriano scenes.

Endless amount of penetration close ups gets really annoying really fast. It can't be too hard to try and show the girls face and body as much as possible during the scene.
I never understood the "between the guys legs" camera angle. That angle usually just results in a huge amount of nutsack, man ass and maybe brief glimpses of the girls face.
