Are you camera shy?

well I have been on here for a fairly short time and find it very useful...
So here is some pictures of me and my partner enjoying are Pentax cameras!


This is me and my K100D super, taken by my partner on her Canon 300D with 18-55 lens. Taken in the late evening at a local mine ruin, Ding Dong mine near Madron in Cornwall.


This one is of my partner at Marazion Beach near Penzance in Cornwall,
She was taking pictures of the kite surfers with a Pentax ME and 50-150 and deep hood (although none came out as the film failed to advance )
Picture taken with my Pentax K100D super

What about the rest of you.... Brave enough to share?

I used to be very camera shy, until I got into photography and started to appreciate how hard it can be sometimes to even get photos of camera shy people.

That said, I'd rather be behind than in front of a camera.

I don't mind the camera, I just don't like most photographers work around here.... So I avoid them

My girlfriend snapped one or 2 of me yesterday, I'll take a look at them later and might post them.
It surprised me that she didn't break my poor K100D taking them

None of my friends do photography on a weekly basis so I don't see a camera pointed at my face very often. I'm quite camera shy, but I think my posing would improve if the shots were taken more often.

Most of my friends are camera shy too and don't want any photos taken of them.. unless they're drunk. I'm also quite shy street shooter, I don't want to point my camera at unknown people.
