Scopus, Jerusalem. Wide open, 1/6 sec hand-held. As Ted says, if >> you can see it, you can shoot it: I love this picture, it's not perfectly >> sharp and I don't care. >>>That kind of light and handhld at 1/6t of a sec. took guts!!!>> Hi Peter, Way to go man! A beauty 99.9 % would walk away doing nothing more than saying... "WOW NEAT LOOK OUT POINT! Too bad I didn't bring my tripod!" Returning home only with a super interesting scene merely in the memory bank that will shortly fade away! You on the other hand have a wonderful "HAND HELD" PHOTO! There isn't a hope in hell I wouldn't make some attempt at hand holding this shot.......... even if I did it a half dozen times with the trust I had one absolutely sharp. With film one is somewhat hesitant to expose a half dozen iframes if tight on film in pocket! But digital? Heck it's so beautiful what's a dozen exposures? Good on you for having the guts and fortitude to shoot at a slow speed. Cheers, ted
