Hi! RS> I got some very sharp shots the other night at a concert shooting 125mm @ RS> 1/15th & f2.4 ISO800, I was sitting but had no arm rests to lean on. Of course RS> I made more soft and medium sharpness shots than really sharp ones but most RS> were still quite usable and I'm not sure but I suspect that I'm older than RS> Boris. I've been shooting in poor available light a long time, don't ask me RS> about flash though.
Oh, it reminded me, thanks Rob. One of my shot was made handheld at 220 mm of focal length with 1/60 or so shutter speed. It is one of my first PUG submissions I think - Bored Leopard. Anyway, I have no idea how I could pull this one out - total weight of gear in my hands was close to 1.5 kilos (more than 3 pounds)... For all practical purposes I am 32 years old <g>... In a sense I am glad that two photos of mine resulted in two somewhat prolonged threads. It means that at least these two shots were worth something... Thanks. Boris
