It is very important, when holding that camera out in front of you, to have a firm foundation. If you do not have a tripod handy, you can make one with your body, as this gentleman demonstrates...
It's a unique and entertaining stance, but not nearly as creative as what I have seen from Snaffles.
Do you have an embarrassing picture of Lutchenko? I'm waiting for that one to come out of the London GTG.
That cracks me up - not sure I don't put myself through equally bizarre contortions sometimes. I must remember to make a mental note to always have sound shooting posture when you are nearby with camera.
