Recommended hand type for professional photography.

This is divided into four groups: A, B, C and D. According to the position, squat or stand, each group covers the most possible posture.

A 1 backhand horizontal grip machine:

This posture is commonly used by everyone. The key point is that in the case of slow shutter,

You should stick the upper part of your arm to your body, move naturally, and don't be nervous.

In the case of slow shutter, close your eyes and exhale at the moment when the shutter is released to obtain the best stability.

A2 Forehand Cross Gripper:

Personally, this grip is more stable than the backhand cross grip.

The main points are the same as those of the backhand horizontal grip machine.

In the case of slow shutter, close your eyes and exhale at the moment when the shutter is released to obtain the best stability.

A3 Shoulder side grip:

This method of holding the machine is my personal favorite and the most commonly used.

However, it is relatively limited and only applies to the fuselage of the vertical racket handle.

And especially when using telephoto, the effect is the best.

The key is to stabilize the bottom of the vertical handle of the camera on the shoulder joint.

(The extremity jitter is the largest, and the higher it goes, the stronger its stability is. )

Keep the eyepiece close to the orbit. In the case of slow shutter, close your eyes and exhale at the moment when the shutter is released to obtain the best stability.

A4 vertical grip horizontal grip:

I often use this method.

The restriction is also relatively large, which is only suitable for the fuselage of the vertical racket handle.

The key point is to drag the bottom of the vertical racket handle by hand to achieve the effect of monopod through the left arm and abdomen.

Keep the eyepiece close to the orbit. In the case of slow shutter, close your eyes and exhale at the moment when the shutter is released to obtain the best stability.

B 1 backhand vertical racket clip:

This method is the most commonly used grip, but I personally think it is not the safest method.

The key is that the left arm supports most of the camera's weight and is close to the body.

But in order to correct a common mistake,

Be careful not to tilt your right arm when taking pictures in this way.

Tightening and close to the body can achieve better stability.

In the case of slow shutter, close your eyes and exhale at the moment when the shutter is released to obtain the best stability.

B2 Forehand vertical racket clip:

This method of holding the camera has great limitations and is only used for cameras with vertical grips.

His main points are the same as forehand and backhand, and his stability is better.

In the case of slow shutter, close your eyes and exhale at the moment when the shutter is released to obtain the best stability.

B3 horizontal arm vertical racket grip method:

This grip method is my favorite and most commonly used vertical grip method.

After my personal summary for many years, this method of holding the racket with a straight hand has the best stability.

There are not many requirements for cameras and scenes.

However, it should be noted that this method may bring some inconvenience to the operation of the fuselage buttons.

(When crossing your arms, your wrist is not very flexible)

In the case of slow shutter, close your eyes and exhale at the moment when the shutter is released to obtain the best stability.

C 1 rely on buildings or stable large objects to increase stability;

I believe many people have used this method and the effect is good.

Be careful not to knock down the cupboard (I almost knocked down when I took this photo). . . )

In the case of slow shutter, close your eyes and exhale at the moment when the shutter is released to obtain the best stability.

D 1 is located on a low plane and supports the machine:

This method is suitable for shooting things in a low position.

Macros also apply. There are a few points to note here.

First of all, we must resolutely avoid contact between joints.

Please pay attention to the picture above. My elbow is stuck at the joint on the inside of the knee joint, not in direct contact with the knee joint.

Because the joints are hard, the contact between the joints will directly lead to the decline of stability.

In the case of slow shutter, close your eyes and exhale at the moment when the shutter is released to obtain the best stability.

D2 is sitting on a low plane:

The principle of this method is similar to the above method, but the angle is higher than the above method.

Also note that there is no contact between the joints. Look at the picture.

Most of my upper elbow and upper arm are stuck on my calf, which will greatly improve the stability of the machine.

In the case of slow shutter, close your eyes and exhale at the moment when the shutter is released to obtain the best stability.

Well, all in all, I have summed up so much. Hard practice will have a good effect, and I hope it will bring some help to everyone's shooting.
