I took this of a friend, everything is natural lighting, no photoshopping. Its on ISO 1600, so theres some noise on a Rebel XT. 1/3 sec. @ ISO 1600. f/8. tamron 28-75 f/2.8, rebel XT.

its tripod. If i could handhold for 1/3 of a sec non IS, I would be an army sniper right now... :)

Hah! I feel better now, I'm like Old Neighbor Shaky Hands at 1/30 or more :p .

[tikosyn]

i have had a few 1/30 shots. about 1 in 10 though, so its not common.

That could win a PPA Merit !!! I've made it into a step-mount after enhancing it just a bit. I hope my changes give you some ideas on how to finish it. My highest praise ... I wish I had created it. That's how much I like it !

Hi Tikosyn;

PPA stands for Professional Photographers of America. ASP stands for American Society of Photographers. You can only join by invitation and must 1st hold a degree with PPA. My degree ... I hold the Photographic Craftsman Degree. Thanks for asking.
