Jody you've been smoking something if you think you can get critically sharp
photos (especially flowers) without using a tripod. You're dreaming pal.
Either that, or you really have never seen critically sharp photos. You can
take SNAPSHOTS of flowers hand held, maybe that's what you are talking about.
You might even get reasonably sharp photos using 400 speed film in bright
sunlight, but they won't look good. If that's what you like, then go for it.
I myself like critically sharp photographs taken on slow speed highly
saturated film. You can only do that with a tripod, pal. Don't kid yourself.
Studies have shown again and again that a tripod makes all the difference in
the world.

Bollocks. I do most of my pics hand-held and very

time I should be using a tripod, but didn't have it
with me because it is rather ungainly. Actually a vast
proportion of shots where I thought I should use a
tripod came out completely non-fuzzy.
Try bending a tripod down to get a flower picture,
which you are shooting at 1/500th anyway. Try telling
me that photo needs a tripod. 90% of the time I shoot
at at least 1/125th. I have been told you can
generally handhold down to 1/60th, and I have had many
sucesses below this. So stuff it in your pipe and
smoke it.
