Hey Eric,

Reading through your blog in a not very orderly fashion and thought I’d comment here. I use a neckstrap, wrapped around my hand, I find it comfortable and can sling it across my body when I don’t need immediate access. I have also been experimenting with sometimes carrying my camera in my hand resting just below my shoulder, to get some shots. In those cases I try to use a smaller aperture, so focus isn’t so critical.

You’re such a wealth of useful information and I am so keen to get out there shooting again this weekend. I have rounded up a couple of friends to shoot with. That’s another tip, if you’re starting out, to go in a group. You get tips and over some of the initial shyness when shooting!

Hi Eric,

I’m super late with this reply. I never got an email notification that you had responded to me. The only reason I saw this was because I was googling my name…not for vain reasons I promise…

I actually have a Canon G12 now and I finally bought a 5D Mark II. I need better glass for those wide angles, but I managed to have a couple of pictures published in NME magazine recently, so a lot has happened in a year.

Your list is still on point btw.

Hi: one suggested addition to the list (and the first rule on my own list):
1. when shooting on the street, do not take the time to review your shots. You miss the best opportunities that way.

Great blog Eric. There’s so much interesting stuff on here I’m still finding my way round it.

This is a great list of tips which I can subscribe to, especially 6 and 69. I’ve wasted countless hours with both. Just one point; doesn’t 89 contradict 71?

Now I must put put 14 into practice by closing my browser, picking up my camera and getting out there.

I forgot how I even ended up on this website, but I’m glad I did.

The first thing I learned in Introductory Photography class was the difference between PICTURES and PHOTOGRAPHS hehe.. Your list summarized my entire semester!

“Carry your camera with you everywhere. Everywhere.”
This is what I am really trying to get into the habit of doing. Thanks for a great list! Although there may be a couple I don’t agree with 100%, you’re pretty much spot on!

I’m going to have to disagree with #10 but I love #18!

Greta list. Many i agree with fully some i dont at all. Some made me laugh as i say the same all the time.

Number 70 has to be the one i used the most. Everyone thinks they are a tog these days. They get them a DSLR and some even call themselves a pro after a weeks shooting.
