Giving Myself a Hand

I had to kill time waiting for Carol to pick up meds at Walgreens. She did the driving, so I was on the passenger side. This made the shot more difficult than you think. In order to do it, I had to go through contortions with my left hand (I am right handed) to get a finger on the shutter button and still hold the camera to get the composition I wanted. I am not so well coordinated with my left hand.

I know, it's corny, but I like it! :)

Congrats on getting anything usable from a left-handed attempt. Not easy to do, even with a smaller camera.

Many are the times I've held my camera upside-down so I could release the shutter with my levt thumb...
