Camera Shy

GfK · 14-02-2006, 11:02

Found this one from last summer.

Camel is loving the camera a bit more than the guy who's sitting on it.

So are the camels no ?

But a great shot GfK ! Really nice composition and good camel eye contact !

Was the driver/rider (?) playing the mouth organ or just shy ?

TFS ...

He seriously didn't want his pic taken. I only know how to tell people to f*** off in Egyptian so I didn't really get what he was saying but I could tell he wasn't happy.

But I figured he wasn't goin to shoot me for it, so I got a few pics.

And well worth the risk in your result too GfK ! IMO ...

Probably had no camel insurance and thought you were going to shop him....

Yep, agreed. Thing with Egypt, though, is there are thousands of tourists everywhere, not to mention Egypt's poorfolk relentlessly chasing you trying to sell you rubbish (one of the buggers stole my baseball cap at one point, causing slight loss of temper, but we won't go into that). So as far as taking pictures is concerned, you don't get much of an opportunity to plan for a shot - just have to take what you can get.

Just be thankful it was only a hat he stole

SammyC · 15-02-2006, 08:48

Ah, you see, you think he only stole your hat.....

GfK · 15-02-2006, 10:23

Actually one of 'em did offer me 3,000 camels for my wife... he didn't look like he had that many camels, though... and I would have struggled getting 'em through customs.

Anyway, wish I'd agreed now. Getting divorced. Least I'd still have me camels.

Well what you got was good, and you can get yourself in a lot of trouble shooting camel toes

Don't ask me how i know that
