Earlier tonight I was having some fun photographing holiday lights when
I realized something: now that pretty much all cameras have a much
smaller left shoulder than film cameras of old, the lens is no longer in
the center of the body. This means that if you rotate your camera as if
you were turning a steering wheel, the lens moves in a circle rather
than rotating in one spot.
I realize this doesn't affect many people, but when I was rotating my
camera while taking long exposures of light strands, I could never get
the lens to be at the center of rotation, and that was frustrating.
So I came home and took a few dozen photos of my cats. Welcome to 2012.
If that's all it takes to make you give up and go home, you should
probably take up a different hobby than photography. There are
annoyances out there that will have you slitting your wrists.
