Post your pictures!

sorry for the comment, Dave, it was just that your picure looks all blurred and shaken

[dave.schwartz]

Don't apologize. You're taking the fun out of this. I agree that the image has a natural blur to it. It was shot handheld - not on a tripod and it was just about dark.
Still, I like it.

If the only criteria for image review around here is focus then we're all cheating. Autofocus has rendered us all equal!

pls don't get me wrong, Dave.

there are neither criteria here for posting nor was my intention to "criticise" your picture too much - when viewed in its original size as you posted it it lacked sharpness and because it did so in all areas the only cause can be a too long exposure time.

the atmoshere is great and i definitely envy you for this wonderful location just as i do envy paglamon for his trips to himalaya

[dave.schwartz]

hahahaha And now we do the political correctness dance, both trying to clarify. Don't worry my friend. I'm here just to have a little fun and talk photography. You need to know that I do have a fairly thick skin when it comes to critizism. And if I say anything that is offensive to anyone, it is not my intent.

So yes, long shutter + handheld = blur. It's hard to escape the physics of that one.

On the other hand, one of the images I posted earlier today, of Evgenia, one of those images had a 1.5 sec shutter and yes, I used a tripod!
