Photography, has anyone took funny candid shot

Yup, some people do, as going sideways the "normal" way just adds weight to the camera, not support it.

I shoot like that when I have the other hand to support the lens, the other way when somehow my other hand carrying, say, tripod or other stuff coz can use only one hand. But I feel more stable shooting the way in the pic though.

Looks pro, a macro lens right?

Many ppl also hold liddat dunno why

I hold camera like that also..Feel its more stable for me. :embrass:

Actually that is considered the 'correct' way to hold it when you taking it in portrait orientation as it's more stable. Tested and proven.

Wah... I am most humbled by seeing all these response.
It goes to show how ignorant I am. Also it proves that there is no right or wrong way to do one thing.
After studying the picture a few more times, I come to realise why is it that I don't hold my camera this way:
- I always make use of the vertical grip's shutter button when I hold the camera in the portrait orientation.

But nonetheless, it was a great learning experience for me to see so many of you shooting in this way.
