Contemplative

My husband has learned to be so cooperative when we eat out! If he sees the camera out he knows to shift and I don't even have to say a thing. I just toss my head which way I want him to move and he obliges!

Mine has become over helpful. Look at that. Take a picture of this. Mine needs his own camera! Love the contemplative look. Kudo's to your husband for ducking out of the way.

My husband is very supportive, but when I take my camera out in a restaurant he gets annoyed. Nice shot :)

[katy]

@jankoos This is not my husband! this is the man my husband was blocking and he moved so i could get the shot!

@justjim Thanks, Jim I am glad you like it!

@deburahiru Thanks, Deb! I guess mine has learned not to ! He used to get upset and I wouldn't do it in a fancy place but we ususally eat in more relaxed places!

I love your description of how you signal him. ;-)
You have trained him well and you got a great shot out of it.

I went out with a friend recently and we were in a great place for some street candids. Lots of missed shots due to lack of communication. I kept wanting her to stop so I could use her shoulder as a quick tripod for an unobtrusive quickie, but she kept missing the cue. We need more practice. LOL

@pasadenarose Thanks, Rose! I guess when you spend that much time with someone eventually they get it! ;~}
