I should not poke fun at the guy in #2 as I have done the same thing many times when not wanting to hit the quick release for one or two shots.

The fellow in #2 redefines the term handheld. These are sort of all about people placement. I liked the guy leaning in on the left edge of #1. I appreciate your comments Linda.
