A good eye is a good eye, regardless of hand position. Nice work.

It seems as if the pacemaker is improving your photography.
Get well soon.

This is likely the final chapter using “After The Pacemaker” in the title. I am doing fine and have now been cleared to return to normal. I took the attached photos with the camera at waist level or lower since I was to keep my left arm below my shoulder.

I took these on the nature path near our new home in Georgia.

I used a Panasonic LX10 and Canon SX730, both compact cameras with a flip out screen.

Very nice! #3 is my favorite.

I love the perspective of waist level photography. I cut my teeth on TLRs and still appreciate that unique look at every day things, a little different from the eye level perspective that we already see...a fresh look. It's also why I prefer a simpler flippy screen to the fully articulating type...much quicker to flip out into waist level mode.

Glad to hear you're recovering and doing well. Nice shots, I particularly like the last one. Holding a camera at waist level and using the flip out screen can make holding the camera steady difficult. Are you using a monopod or even just a cane to help steady the camera?

Nice shots, Dean! They show us the value of having a flippy screen at our disposal when needed.

Thank you for commenting. I found that using both hands to grip the camera with my elbows against each hip seemed to work. I’ll probably continue to use a similar shooting technique more in the future for a slightly different perspective.

I agree totally with all of your comments. Thank you.
