Hi Joe,

I’d like to let you know your camera hold tip works even for my D300 without Nikon MB-D10 battery pack. I watched your video and learned the trick just before my trip to Big Sur last Friday. And this trick worked really well when I tried to hold the camera and lens with my whole body (instead of just my hands) which I think is the essence of the method. I can even see my lens become more stable when I also did a test in my motel. It also reduce fatigue as I found I can hand-hold my 300 f2.8 longer this way. Thanks very much.

Eric.

Great tip. I’m lucky to be left eyed too.

I noticed that even your cat is in Nikon Black. Great and beautiful color

Thx very much.

Eric.

This is really great information. I remember seeing this stance back at PhotoshopWorld Wests photo safari, but never really investigated it.

I am sure many others will benefit from this video. Also, I like the teaching style, fun, yet informative.

I showed the video in my Digital Photo imaging class at Washtenaw Coonumity College (Ann Arbor, Michigan) the other night. Folks were very interested and appreciated the info and technique. I wondered if you shoot with your glasses on or not?

I also tried using your basic stance and the suggestion another reader made of resting the camera on the left shoulder as the left arm grasps the right arm or shoulder as a support. That seemed to work well in low light, too, particularly for verticals.

Thanks for sharing, it is much appreciated.
