Most of the pictures I took when I first had my SLR in the 80s were portrait shots. Now, the right way to take portrait-styled pictures is to use an underhand rather than an overhand grip. Besides that taking portrait pictures with the latter makes you look like a chicken with outstretched wings, the underhand grip allows you to more easily close your elbows to stabilize your shots.
The best way though is to use a battery or vertical grip. So, I finally got round to picking up the MB-D10 grip for the D300 not locally here though, but from an online Malaysian retailer Yamiya. Interestingly, while optical equipment in MY is typically more expensive than here, the MB-D10 was one item that was, surprisingly, cheaper even when compared to Amazon pricings.
Here’s the D300 + MB-D10 with my Sigma 24-60mm f2.8. The thing weighs quite a bit, but it’s amazingly easier to hold now for vertical shots.:)
Hello,
Are you in Singapore?
When you bought the MB-D10 from Yamiya, would Nikon Singapore accept the warranty when you register online?
Cheers!
Heya,
According to this link: not for the MB-D10:
