Here is a great video I came across recently featuring my new favorite photographer, Joe McNally.  He is very knowledgeable about photography.  This video demonstrates the best way to hold your camera, known as “da grip”, i’ll assume.  It really only applies to left-eyed photographers, but the principles can be used and adjusted to fit your needs.  By doing so, you will greatly improve your photographs and reduce fatigue and pain from long hours of shooting.  This is an indirect quote from the actual video, but I’m only doing so, because I truly believe it. Unfortunately, I don’t own a big enough camera body to fully use this technique, I have a D70. But, lately I’ve been practicing around the studio as much as posssible. I hold the camera just as describes in the video, cranked down the shutter speed, and try to take as sharp of photos as humanly possible. Practice makes perfect, and I want to be the best photographer I can be. Every tip helps, no advice is bad advice. Enjoy.
