Photography Question

Stroboframes


This is probably a really silly question but... I have always held my camera with my right arm low and my left holding the lense up top. I realize that most people do not hold it this way. Why then is a stroboframe set up so that when you are shooting portrait, your left hand is over the camera. Are there left handed cameras?

  if you are holing the camera with your left hand the shutter button is on the right side

  I guess my question was not very clear. When you turn the camera for verticle shots the shutter button should be up on top. But when you use the stroboframe it has to be the opposite way.

  Yep, but I got used to it. I have shot with RF's, SLR's, and TLR's and many different types of brackets. The TLR's had the shutter releases in different places.

BTW, I though all SLR's were left-handed. After all, you cradle the camera in your left and and focus with your left hand. All the right hand does is steady the camera and fire the shutter.

  Yeah, guess you're right. I wonder if you hold the camera more steady, without the frame if the shutter is on top like it says in the literature that I read.
