Better Posture for Photographers and Bird Watchers!
/I’ve recently re-taken up my old hobby of photography after of a hiatus of about 20 years and it’s definitely an adjustment to carry a camera with some weight to it…heavier than a iphone I mean!
Whether you’re a professional photographer or hobbyist, you might experience some aches and pains in your back, neck, shoulders, or wrists…even if your camera isn’t as heavy as the one shown in this week’s Power Pause video.
And even if you’re not a photographer or bird-watcher, you can still learn some valuable tips for how to maintain good posture and protect your back when holding something heavy!
In this video, you’ll meet a wildlife photographer who has been having back and wrist pain when photographing birds.
We look at some common postural issues with holding a camera or binoculars, and how to address them, such as:
Bringing the object to your face, rather than moving your face forward
How to avoid compressing the lower back when holding something heavy
Remembering to breath to avoid getting tense
