Title: Sunny day - New pics
Post by: xrtoronto on October 02, 2006, 04:53:24 PM: Returning home from the East side. This is Greektown; Some of the best food in TO can be found in these numerous restaurants. This is shot from the south side of Danforth just east of Pape by a block and half (shooting NNE)

Remainder of shots from today are a visit to a nearby dog park. Nice day with lots of sunshine (for a change).

Shot about 80 pics today. One problem with some shots is camera shake. Other than carrying a tripod around, is there another easy way to stablize the camera for a shot; this becomes important in low light due to longer shutter speed. Anyone have a solution to this?

I'll pick it up this week (good to protect the lens if nothing else) I almost walked into a branches today that could have scratched the lens

Tuck elbows in to chest to brace your forearms.

Breath in, then 1/3 out and hold, stabilize, then squeeze off shot.

Follow through. Squeeze and hold button instead of 'stabbing' it and releasing it quickly. When shutter drops again the image should still be centered in viewfinder.

Not much diff from shooting a gun really.
