And every one was with a polarizer and hand held. I did, however, whenever possible, brace myself against something for about half of the photos where I needed to stop down a bit more for more DOF. Especially after climbing those stairs. But that California sun was quite bright. Even the shadows were farily bright due to reflections from the light colored walls that surrounded the courtyards. The R8 is easy to hand hold. Probably a combination of ergonomics, the mass, a good shutter and of course my rock steady photo technique :-) (or maybe it is my mass).
