A technique for changing your digital SLR camera lens quickly and easily, when out in the field.
Personally, I used to have a rather odd technique for changing a camera lens when out and about in the field. The technique involved tightly holding one lens under my chin while I took the other off the camera’s body. After taking it off the body, I’d place it under my arm while attaching the one that was under my chin, to the camera. To much amusement, I’ve since taken a lot of notice on how other photographers change their camera lenses. Like myself, some are more technically challenged than others *smiles*.
Tip for changing a camera lens
Recently I come across a helpful video that shows photographers a quick and easy method for changing a digital SLR camera lens, without the need for holding one under your chin or arm. The advantage of this technique, is that it is so quick and easy, it minimizes your chance of getting dust on your camera’s sensor. Watch the video demonstration below and you’ll see what I mean.
As suggested in the video, practise this technique of changing your camera lens while standing over soft carpet to begin with. In no time at all, you’ll look like a pro and your camera’s sensor will thank you for it.

Thanks for sharing a good tip. I’m always nervous changing the lenses on the go and putting them down on something. For the those that are going to practice this….use a pillow at first!! lol
