Thanks Pye!! I've been "following" SLR Lounge on YouTube 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.
LOL at 1:01… I like +Pye Jirsa and all, but I need this explained to me: "If you're right handed, use your left hand under the lens"??? Someone, anyone, tell me how a left handed person could shoot any differently?
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.

The elbow shelf totally helps when wielding the Pentax 6×7 with 200m lens. Gret tips!
What camera are you using in this video? Answer please.
subbed
Hi. I want to ask if what setting (priority) did you use and is it manual or automatic for panning? (Beginner here)
Simple and working tips, great video! Thanks much!
really helpful but seriously, you talk a bit too much. Too many "jokes" that really aren't funny
didn't expect the outcome would be that awesome!!!! nice video btw
The elbow shot looks very weird and silly !
Camera Nikon D5200 or D5300 ? Which model?
if youre left or right handed isnt it still the same grip.

Great video. Anyone knows what hood he's using on the kit lens?
(looks like it's not the normal hood designed for 18-55)
Great video, Please make a tutorial on how to take Astrophotography, (Beginners 🙂 )
thank you!
The 'triangle' is the strongest geometric shape. Keeping that in mind, watch the video again. See how many triangles you can spot.
Simples!
