For my dear friend Ruthie.... :D

You know how to rock my day!

No tripod. I adjusted so that my aperture was wide open at 2.8, which in turn gave me a faster shutter speed. A faster shutter speed means less camera shake.

If your shutter speed is equivalent to your focal length (meaning if your zoom is set to 50mm then your shutter speed should be around the same or higher)or larger, you should be okay.

HTH,
Beth

Wow!

You have grown SO MUCH in your photography since we "met" ~ it's inspiring to me!

I want to be like you when I grow up. :D

Did you use a tripod when you shot these?

I'm been playing around with shooting in manual mode ~ it's quite freeing. My working my way through Understanding Exposure - I love it!
