Todays challenge......shoot with one hand

Shoot a toned proof holding the camera in one hand while the other holds a white paper filtering the light

I did have the advantage as they are raw, for the exception of the Roosevelt. Its in a Capital plastic holder
and I didn't feel like taking it out.

Anyone else up to trying?

My Polaroid has a built-in light... but I can't post photos I take with that camera!

My pics are lousy no matter how many hands I use ( FTR I have four).

It's actually comical to watch me Try to capture the image, hold the camera and the white paper altogether

I have hand held about 20,000 photos (no coins) in the last month as I got a new toy, a 300MM Canon Lens and a 1.4x Canon teleconvertor III.

This is the most nature I have shot in about 2 years. For the last 2 years, 99% of my photography has been coins. It was driving me crazy as I can't stand photographing coins.

I photographed this image of a Great Blue Heron last night.

Someone drew graffiti on your photo!

Thanks Stef.

Can you imagine editing 20,000 photos in a month

I think I have saved about 30 images

I like your hand held coin images, just don't make a habit of it

Since I'm ambidextrous later today I'll photograph a coin using just one foot!

Absolutely, but you can always buy a copy without the copyright protection printed on the image

It's the only way I can image proofs without getting reflections or a big
whiteout spot in the center

Ya proofs are tough. I do not envy you coin photographers as It is not easy work.

My Photography Website...no coins though....just CELEBS, SPORTS, NATURE, CONCERTS, ETC.

You did better with one hand than most of us can do with two hands. Great looking pics.

When I saw the thread title, I thought you were joining me in my other major hobby... but no, alas, it was about photography - in which I am totally without skills. Nice pictures though..... Cheers, RickO

I can't get it right on three legs... how could I possibly do it with one hand.

(that's a photographer's joke, not an animal rights activist's)

"I can't get it right on three legs... how could I possibly do it with one hand."

Oh boy... that is sooooooooooooooo tempting.... you really are 'the straight man' here.... unbelievable...

MAO.... Cheers, RickO
