Jerren Posted January 31, 2013 Share #1 Â Posted January 31, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) You never know when you may have to take a shot from the hip. This set is from a session where I walked around practicing shooting from the hip just so I can get comfortable doing it with the m8. All of these were shot from the hip just moments apart from each other. Â 1 Â 2 Â 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

earleygallery Posted February 1, 2013 Share #4 Â Posted February 1, 2013 Nice photos. If we're honest though, we only shoot from the hip when we're too coward to take a proper aimed shot! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcnarf Posted February 1, 2013 Share #5 Â Posted February 1, 2013 Using what focal length? Each successfully framed shot the result of only 1 snap or several, with or without chimping? Any cropping? Â Timidity or cowardice are not the only reasons for shooting from the hip. Stealthy shooting increases the possibility of achieving truly candid photographic capture. It also permits an effective low-angle perspective without one's having to squat down, a posture that becomes quite cumbersome as advancing years diminish our agility.

One snap for each shot, no chimping. I didn't crop or rotate these to give the honest result of my trial of shooting from the hip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not always; sometimes you just know the subject will react if you point the camera and you will not get the candid you want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
