Jason,

Thank you for pointing that out… I’ve seen the video before, but somehow it slipped through when writing this post. Thanks for the links.

Cheers!

Photographer Joe McNally has his own vertical grip stance that is more for those who are "left-eyed" but I've found it to be useful even right eyed with a little change to the position. You'll find it on his blog under the title; “Clicks” Cover Shot Explained & Vertical Grip He also has a video on youtube showing the stance; http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=EDsx3-FWfwk

Great tips! To add to that I’d suggest leaning against somthing solid whenever possible. Take the photo between breaths, after breathing out. Twisting the camera slightly (twisting the right hand forward, the left back) also adds a bit of stability to your grip and minimises small shaking movements.

Finally, I’ve also seen photographers wrap their neck strap around their arm and under theirelbow, keeping it taut. This helps with stability in the same way twisting the camera does.

Standing as suggested above also lets you shoot at lower shutter speeds and still get blur free shots. Using the above method I’ve managed consistent 1/15 – 1/8 second shutter speeds. With shake reduction lenses you could go even slower.
