Glad to see I'm not the only one sticking out that forward hip towards the mic when booming on a full extension and the scene's been running for a while... Thought that was one of those horrible habits only I had fallen into!

Its completely natural to  "stick your hip out " , however I would advise switching from left to right sides often, so as to be

"ambidextrous" with your booming. So that you don't affect your normal posture.

I had to finish some paperwork today but couldn't stop reading and viewing all the amazing photos everyone posted! Very entertaining and inspiring! Went through my photos and found couple of them where I can actually see a boom pole :) Not the best pictures but wanted to contribute.
