But actually, I seldom shoot portrait.

I can honestly say i shoot in that second mode!

all depends if yer a lefty or a righty. but since 99% of the cameras out there are not designed for us poor lefties, we adapt. Most often, if its either my wide, or my 50mm, i won't even use the second hand. When I've got my long lens on, I'll mount the thing on a tripod :p

if not, then i'll use the first method.

What do you mean by cool ?. Are you refering to the guy on the picture, the camera or the technique. Not your about your response :roll:
