## Inner workings
- Camera Stand has an **owner** - player who placed it or interacted with it first. This determines who will get advancements for shooting.
- To take (render) the image, a player must be nearby. Stand cannot render anything by itself. Player needs to "see" through the camera.
- When shutter is released - Stand will first check if the owner is in working range to make the photo. If owner is not there - it'll choose closest player in it's working range (can be disabled in config).
    - If photo is taken using another player - it will look like this player sees the world, and it may be very different to your view (resourcepacks, shaders, etc).
