Best postion to mount a shot gun mic

What's the best way to mount a shot gun mic to a camera? The two ways I'm debating are in the pictures below.

I always record behind the camera. I the second photo of the mic facing away from the camera operator is how I have been doing it, but I have noticed that it picks up a signicant amount of background noise doing it this way since it's facing away from me when I talk.

I want to hear everyone's experiences with mounting microphones and what they think is the best way.

Facing camera operator.

Away from camera operator.
