In truth, I really don't think about my breathing, although I think I pull the trigger between breaths. I keep my left hand under the lens barrell with my elbow planted firmly against my chest. My right handwraps around the camera. I do concentrate on a smooth shutter release. I can't hit a high percentage without shake when shooting handheld with this lens (400 plus doubler) at only 1/500th, but I do get around 30-50% if I work hard.
