I can't wait for this post-dive conversation with my buddy. "I know you've taken 100 shots of me diving, but you still owe me $25 for taking your picture with your camera." ![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

Warren_L:To put things into context, at least for my typical scenario, it is not really discussed before the dive whether the camera will be handed off or not, as this is not pre-planned. What happens most of the time is, once we are down on the dive, if my buddy wants to shoot some pictures, he may motion to me to hand off the camera. It usually doesn't happen until later in the dive once I've had a chance to shoot some pictures first. When this happens, I choose to hand it off (most time) and on occasion, I will wave him off if there's more that I want to do.
Here's another scenario: creating an image for possible future uses -whether prearranged or on the spot on the dive decided, I hand off my camera to have someone pull the shutter for me. I have set up everything for the shot...I'm using a human as my remote control shutter release only. Who then?
You're arguably the artist.alcina:So many grey areas and I'm sure it's going to vary case by case.

Very interesting discussion for sure.
