It took me a while to get used to it - but eventually I did. I do use my right hand, but when I am in situations that I can't, I do use the methods above. I generally brace myself on something if I am shooting left-handed only. Bonus points for using the term 'gimped-up' - check out my latest tattoo: http://i.imgur.com/7gT5r.jpg Good article ;) I’ve encountered this on a daily basis – I’ve got one hand, but I do still have my arm and have been shooting with an SLR or dSLR for a while.

Thumb & forefinger on the Lens & middle finger on the shutter button, raise the left shoulder & press the camera firmly into your shoulder & against your brow. If you are lucky there will be a wall or something to brace against or the top of a table or fence post to rest your left elbow on. For long term problems google camera brace one handed or perhaps get a good camera phone. Had to give it a try what i came up with works best if you are shooting horizontally.
