My lenses are fixed focal length and autofocus, so I do not need to wrap a hand aroung the lense... I do like to have my left hand under the lense to stabilize it, but i actually find myself using the back of my hand... For some reason it does not feel right to have my palm holding the lense up.. For the most part I like to use a tripod, but when on the move, this is not always practical. I find that for me, the video does not realy apply.

You are far less likely to get a good shot unless you are supporting your camera properly. The way to do that is long established convention. That’s kind of the point isn’t it.

I understand the point of holding a camera correctly, but to laugh at others for not doing so is rude. They too will learn, but the bottom line is the end result of a good shot. One of my teachers years ago, long before digital cameras, told me that if you get ONE good shot out of say 35 on a regular film camera, you are doing well. I think the same goes for digital photography; I take a lot of shots, just to get one good one. I don’t like snobs of any kind and some of the comments really are too much.

I shoot however it's comfortable and however it works for the shot. A lot of my clients have kids around 18 month old and I usually am on the floor of my studio with them - sitting on it, laying on it - whatever it take to get that really great shot. Do my clients care how I hold my camera? No way, as long as the end result makes them happy that's all that matters to me. I have to disagree with this one.

It partially cover your right eye, so you can shoot with both eyes open. Less strain to the other eye that you keeps on closing.
