I went for a walk yesterday afternoon, under the I-44 bridge. For the … what? … one hundredth and first time? I felt like I was covering ground I’ve already covered. A lot. Because, let’s face it, I was.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
On the other hand, though, I’ve never gone under the I-44 bridge with this spiffy new lens, with its 18mm wide angle and wonderful sharpness. \ud83d\ude42 Also, I think I’m a better photographer now than I was the last time I took pictures under the bridge.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Then, last night I tried hand-held night-time skyline shots. I learned that I can manage hand-held down to about 1\/4th of a second, with reasonable results. And if I take 3-4 pictures of the same thing, I have an even better chance of getting one that I like. Shutter speeds close to a full second, though, are still rather hopeless hand-held. I’m thinking I should invest in a monopod, and see what slow I can go with one of those.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Still, it’s amazing to be able to shoot hand-held at 1\/8th to 1\/4th of a second. Before I had this lens, about 1\/30th was the slowest I could manage with any hope of success. 1\/20th if I was steadfastly lucky. So, three cheers for the march of technology. Technology will make a photographer out of me yet. \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n
