If you ’re like most masses , photography boils down to automatic musical mode paired with luck . Not for US Army officer Alex Jansen , who wrote up a massiveguideto crisp humiliated - light photography based on “ the four fundamentals of marksmanship . Snap , headshot .
separate into several sections depending on circumstance — though none for suppressing enemy flack — Jansen take the air you through “ Hand , Elbow , and Standing Positions , ” “ Kneeling and Sitting Positions , ” “ Bracing technique , ” and “ Breathing Control . ” For example :
If there is a vertical column , fence post , or only the remnant of the bulwark ( to include doorway frames , like the one picture below ) , you’re able to pilfer your elbow on the edge of it . Here I am shooting through a doorway and having my elbow stabilize my entire body . Is it perfect ? No , of class not , just like none of these are . But it will help if it is the only solution available to you .
…
If possible , it will even help to put the recess of the wall , fencing post , whatever , in your armpit and wring , cause a sort of precipitant vice .
The guide is exhaustive , ocular , and I acclaim Jansen for his willingness to be both a military man and a dude willing to have himself photographed with his ass cleave out in such a sassy manner . [ Pentax ForumsviaPetaPixel ]
