came across this in Popular Photography this morning. The article refers to techniques for stabilizing a camera. We've all heard most of them before (bracing against an object like a building, using a beanbag, using the timer, using burst mode, etc). But this one was new to me, and dayum could have saved me some heartache in the past.
Thank you, Pedroness, great idea! On New Year's Eve I have made some long exposure photos and I was quite angry at me for not taking my tripod with me. This technique would have helped me a bit.
what an awesome idea--the whole camera strap thing, i mean. i dont really see myself getting the whole bolt and string doohickey--when i can just be lazy and use what is already there. :)

Plus if you're really short you don't have to bend over too far.

It is a good idea, and it works, as long as your back isn't hurting. If over-used it can strain your back, but in a pinch it's good. I've used it, in addition to this one. I simply hold the camera far enough to make the strap taut at the back of my neck. That stabilizes pretty well too. With a 35 mm it helped to hold your elbows in close to your bod, but that doesn't work with the lcd display.
