  • Sometimes we find ourselves in situations where we need to slow down our shutter speed for proper exposure. In this video, I'm going to show you 6 ways to hold your camera so you can get sharp images even with slow shutter speeds. I'm also going to demonstrate how to get excellent handheld panning shots using the 6 tips we discussed!

    Thanks Pye!! I've been "following" SLR Lounge on UA-cam and Twitter, but I didn't know it until you said it on CreativeLIVE Monday, that awesome class, that you were the founder of SLR Lounge!!
    Loved your CreativeLIVE class, because it began where I am at right now and led out from there, step by step in detail. And thanks for coming back into the chatroom the next day and saying hi to us all. That was awesome and now I'm going to watch you 101 class, for sure!!
    This is a great video as well. I've shot in a lot of low light settings, and have sometimes had to shoot slow and I"ve gotten pretty good at it but I can always get better!! I'm left-handed and my strong eye is my right eye, so I pretty much hold the camera exactly like you do. So it was good for me to learn that. And I'm guessing I'm not the only "leftie" who does.
    One thing I've noticed is that my goddess Lindsay Adler, when she shoots vertical, rotates the camera clockwise, while I rotate it counterclockwise. As I think you did in your CreativeLIVEa class. I've been thinking about that. Is one way more stable than the other? I don't know.
    Anyway, thanks for founding SLR Lounge and thanks for coming to CreativeLIVE this week. Loved it!!!!!

    Throw away position #4. won't work at all. use kneeling instead.
    Here are the ways hunters and sharpshooters use in order of accuracy:
    SHOOTING POSITIONS IN ORDER OF BEING MOST ACCURATE:
    #1 PRONE. #2 SITTING. #3 KNEELING. #4 STANDING
    Kneeling is with 1 knee on the ground, the other used as a rest for your elbow [as in sitting].
    Also try a "modified weaver stance" [Google it]; As this would also be beneficial.

  • @robertlightbourne2217
    @robertlightbourne2217 5 років тому

    Really good advice. One thing missing -- how to press the shutter release button so it doesn't cause camera shake. Some cameras make it easy and require very little pressure -- others require too much. Try before you buy ! (My Lumix FZ300 has the best release I've yet encountered).

    • @lis6502
      @lis6502 2 роки тому +1

      yeah, i know it's 2 years, but i can share my protip. i am on Nikon, here we have Quiet shutter mode where mirror moves more gently, for one it lowers shakyness in really long exposures, but also prolongs a bit time between shutter press and image to be captured. Other method i use is in menu called "exposure delay". While set to 1sec you need to be a second ahead with your scene but in combination with breathing technique, when correct timing is met you can press shutter right before ex/inhaling ends and capture image free of shutter-shake.

    • @robertlightbourne2217
      @robertlightbourne2217 2 роки тому +1

      @@lis6502 Agreed! Using a timer to release shutter a few seconds after pressing it certainly helps. These days I have a new mental technique: I say to myself "I am a tripod" and try to act accordingly....

    I loved the panning shots. That will get people out there with their cameras. But when it comes to hand holding for slow shutter speeds I think what you offered is the standard what everyone else teaches. Do a search for Theoria Apophasis and watch some of his videos. I believe he offers better ways to holding the camera that will be more of a help to people.
