It also happens quite a bit when taking pictures of children and pets, especially small ones like cats I also do a lot of available light photography indoors and must brace my camera against whatever mechanical support is available to avoid motion blur. In these instances too the viewfinder is difficult or impossible to use.
Not to mention those trips to the nude beach where you want to appear nonchalant and nonintrusive .... not that I would know anything about this sort of covert behaviour! (LOL. I remember when I was on liberty on Paradise Island and there was a dork walking around in shorts, black Navy socks and black shoes taking pictures of the girls on the topless beach..sad!)
