When you don't have a tripod to steady the camera, and it's getting dark and you need slow shutter speeds, that's what you do. Your pulse makes your hands move (try this at home; you'll see), so you do your best to slow it down, and click the shutter in between.

Now, I'm not a pro photographer. I'm a painter. But there's a lot of joy in taking a camera and going exploring; I don't have to be a genius with the lens. This was just a walk I took yesterday evening.

| Another shot I loved for its rhythm. Does anyone else notice that these trees all lean inward, over the road? |
Like the puddles.

Hi hi everyone.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to head out again today and see if there's a train on the tracks. Still learning my way around over here.
