Cool shot! Carnivals and fairs at night are lots of fun to shoot. Looks like the *istD did a great job.

Oh yeah, so did you <g>. I think you may usurp Studdard for the title "the human tripod".

cheers,

Last weekend was the weekend of the annual fun-fair fundraiser at the local high school (a couple of blocks from where I live).

I've quite often used this as an opportunity to try out films
for low-light situations (last year was Provia 400F, and I've
also tested Portra 800 and the Fuji 1600 print films).

This year, of course, I had the opportunity to try the *ist-D.

There was a little more foreground than I really liked in the
full-frame shot, but I was somewhat restricted in where I could
rest the camera to capture this, which is a half-second exposure
at f8 (at ISO 400), taken without a tripod, monopod, or even a
bean-bag.  So I just cropped off the bottom quarter.
