This is something that occurred to me a long time ago. I imagine that it has been mentioned at times in other places, but I have not seen it anywhere on-line yet. So here it is:
I am not saying that there is necessarily a right or wrong way to hold a camera, but I would suggest that this is a good way to hold a camera. It is, specifically, in the left hand, and mainly holding the lens -- not the camera body. The camera body is, at most, resting where-ever it is touching the hand. I don't really care exactly where my hand is making contact.
What is the point? Well, where is the right hand? It is not there. Actually, it is holding the camera I used to take the pictures, but that is not important. The point is, that it has nothing to do with "holding" or "bracing" the camera. It is free to do whatever is useful for me. In most cases, I would be using it to work the camera controls. I'll say this again to make it clear: I am not "holding the camera" with my right hand.
