For me it is about leg stance, breathing, and squeezing not pushing... those are the three things I consider when holding a slow speed.

If you can find something to brace on, use it as one leg of a "tripod" and lean on it so as to use your two as the others.

TheHoff, once again you are bang on the money!

I've managed to get tack sharp images hand holding a 200 f/2.8 for 1/15th of a sec using those techniques.

My humble submission:

ISO800, 70mm, F4, 1/6", through glass, 2 year old daughter hanging on one leg.

With my usual steadiness, I'm lucky you can tell what it is, let alone an acceptable snapshot.

and Matt holds on to his non-IS lead!!!!

I dunno, someone posted a 5-second fireworks shot on the last page, but I'm not sure if he used IS or not.

Yeah!!! they kick ass. Too bad they broke up. here is a shot from that night. Fits the thread too 1/15 sec. I get extra points because of the subject movement.
