A little something

We were filming a wedding yesterday at Santa Margarita Ranch but I did manage to sneak in a still shot for our little group. This was the inside the barn all dressed up for the reception. I handheld the camera for this snap for a 2 second exposure. Still a bit of camera shake so a little blur but it is amazing what you can pull off with today's image stabilized lenses.

Pretty darned good for a 2 sec exposure. Nice Venue too. :thumbup:

Holy moly. Even though you shoot canon (yes, I read your other thread) that really is amazing for a 2 second exposure. Even on my best days (20 plus years ago) I couldn't have hand held a 2 second shot, even with today's stabilization)

Very nice and thank you for reminding me to practice with long exposures. Your results are top notch.

The trick is...two fingers, Jack Daniels just before you snap the shutter. Just kidding. I have a limit of one glass of wine or champagne with dinner and the rest of the time, water on the rocks.

Just a tip for y'all:
If you have to make a long exposure and no tripod or mono-pod is available you can brace the camera on a tree, a fence, the edge of a shelf, or any thing that stick out fare enough to hold your camera against. At weddings the edge of a balcony or organ loft makes a great support. Sometimes even the back of a chair will do the trick. Works with Canon, Nikon, old film cameras, pinhole cameras or what have you. Ed

Thanks guys
Thanks guys
I still use cropped sensors (D-7100 and D-7000), I usually put all my spare change into the best glass I can.
The 2.8 lenses with OS are amazing.
