And thanks for the comment. I actually pinched a nerve in my neck and wrecked havoc on my right arm for a bit. Still actually have a bit of tingling sensation in my thumb and forefinger over it.<br /><br />I'm so bad and sloppy with posture and all that but your right. It's important. <br /><br />For a while I had this tennis elbow type thing going. I think it had to do with the fact that my camera was always in my right hand. Everywhere. But that's much better now.<br /><br />Thanks for the heads up. good point Andy. And thanks for the comment. I actually pinched a nerve in my neck and wrecked havoc on my right arm for a bit.

For a while I had this tennis elbow type thing going. I think it had to do with the fact that my camera was always in my right hand. Everywhere. But that’s much better now.

Thanks for the heads up.

In this shot I notice that you were leaning your body to the side, and you were leaning your neck even further to the side to look through the viewfinder. I don't know if you normally shoot that way or not, but I just wanted to warn everyone that long term this could cause trouble. For the thirty or so years prior to this year, I shot that way. Now, my neck is all messed up. I have to consciously force myself to keep my neck straight and vertical when I'm looking through the viewfinder, otherwise I get all sorts of neck problems later than night and into the following day.<br /><br />That's one of the reasons that I've actually learned to appreciate P&S; cameras with full-articulating LCD screens. It opens so many new opportunities to easily shoot things that become tiresome with an SLR.<br /><br />Just something to keep in mind...<br /><br />Andy Frazer Thomas,

Just something to keep in mind…
