Posing for the camera

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Nothing has changed in Riyadh regarding Sahraa's bizarre aversion to cameras of any sort. She had been visiting with Tim until I focused on her, and then turned her back on me. Taken at Al-Kindi Plaza on the DQ.

Sony DSC-RX100M2
1/100s f/4.5 at 32.8mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

That is so funny that she actually turns her back on the camera. She knows what she likes and what she doesn't like. We all have our little quirks. V

She is so funny with that attitude :)

You will have to forgive her, Helen, some humans have an aversion to cameras too.

It is so strange that she won't look at the camera.

How about if the camera is away from your face and you're looking away from the lcd? You can sort of prefocus or use a small enough aperture that you know it will be in focus. I find I have much better luck with a small camera and not looking through a viewfinder. (Yes, I know with the RX100M2 you are most likely using the lcd, but can you look at her and say something enticing, like "Do you want a treat?" or make some sort of irresistible noise?

LOL! She is camera shy!

I don't get it. If I look back at this gallery to the Summer of 2010, I see a very happy dog in those images. I wonder what happened to make her not like the camera?

Still a lovely image. v

Nice to see the Sherpa. Funny how Sahraa doesn't like the camera.
