  Another thing you did not mention, is these drones people have with video cameras on them.They record what they see, for playback later, and the higher end models transmit back the image to a small screen on the remote that is operating them. They are virtually silent at a low altitude, so you may not even know they are up there, unless you happen to look up and see it. So no matter how good of a job you may have done privatizing your yard with fences, walls & landscaping, one of these could fly over and still capture video of you nude in the privacy of your own yard, or where ever you happen to be. I have seen my house/yard from above on YouTube before, shot from an overhead drone. So keep an eye on the sky when outside nude.

  I've had little success using the catapult. They are not that easy to aim.

  [/quote]Shot guns are much more effective and with better range than either. Also, follow up shots can be made quicker if needed. I don't live in town, so gunfire is not uncommon to be heard around here.

  [/quote]maybe try a ballista. More specifically, one with the arrow lit on fire. xD

  Yea, we are seeing more trailcams on the bicycle trails we ride nude. We just look away so they can't identify us.

  I think drones (at least for now) are not much to worry about. I do however, wholeheartedly agree with the OP in that the proliferation of cell phone cameras present a much higher risk of being caught while partaking of innocent nudity.
  Not only is Big Brother watching; everybody's watching, lol.

Cameras are everywhere. There's a lot of tension in society with a lot more important things to be worried about. On the public stage, we have Trump and Clinton dumbing down decency even further. If someone wants to get naked in their backyard, so what? I think we're very close to if not already in that mindset for a majority of Americans.

  i think the combination of cell phones and social media is turning society in general into idiots, how many of these heroin overdose stories appear on the news and the bystander is videoing it instead of calling 911.

  [quote] Agreed with AndyDi
  
  
  Just own your nudity and get over it.  So your image gets recorded, so what?  Yes, if you're photographed in your own back yard, that's an invasion of privacy, and you have a right to be upset.  But in reality, what are you going to do?  If you know the drone operator, then file a complaint, but don't let anyone take your life away from you because of the camera boogeyman.  To say the plethora of cams is killing nudism isn't really true.  It's the banning of them in many places that's having a negative impact on the old nudist resort business model.  No cell phones, no millennials.

  I don't think it is the cameras that have changed things, it is the internet and social media. I remember 40 years ago at the nude beach at Rooster Rock that cameras were common. Most people did not object and many photos were taken. Cameras were big enough that you could see if someone had one. But there was little "danger", as there was no internet to share the photos or make them public.

  All this talk about drones, and no one has mentioned trail cams. These are motion activated cameras that hunters attach to trees and other objects to get pictures of the different animals moving about in the areas they are interested in hunting. They take pictures without anyone around, and you may never know about it. Just something to keep in mind when you are out hiking nude in the woods.

  Why would you touch something that wasn't yours are you a thief? If someone puts up a legal trail cam you have no right to touch it and I hope they press charges when you get caught

  It's not just cameras, but technology advances in general that have a huge impact. We could argue back and forth about whether it's a good or bad thing but it certainly has brought a lot of changes during my nudist lifetime.

  I would imagine that the reason they were taking them was to post them, it's kinda like the cell phone bit in the locker room. As for me, I don't care, just ask and I will be glad to pose for you if you want mine. In fact I would not mind having a few of them myself, mine are kinda old.

  I like what macnude said in post 32. On Christmas Eve I strolled along a beach wearing nothing but a Santa hat and my white beard. Lot's of textile beachgoers took photos of this naked Santa. If I saw a phone or camera pointing my way I stopped and posed for it. The same goes for anyone else taking nude photos of me at any time. I'm a nudist and make no secret of it. I'm proud of it. I'm happy for anyone to see me naked. So, why should I care about trail cams, drones, phones or any other cameras. I've been naked in town and city centres with CCTV. The security staff have more important things to do than chasing a naked man. As long as I don't cause anyone distress or harassment I'm not breaking the law. So it's just a case of being careful when and where I'm naked, being considerate of others.....So what is this freedom that they are supposed to be taking away?
