These two were also taken in Windsor at the marina on Sunday morning.

Has anyone tried to hold a 400mm lens steady, sans tripod, after 4 or 5 too many pints at the pub the night before? I'm surprised they aren't as blurry as my eyes were when I woke up.

Cheers,

Randy.

very nice. now if you can just get tehm coming toward you!:D

Personally, I shoot better after a few. At least at concerts :)

Too bad it was heading in the wrong direction, but all else looks good.

I went out once after a little too much scotch. I had a good time laughing at my shots of empty sky. And I blamed it on my IS for what I "thought" was causing the pan lag :p

Generally, I think it is best if friends don't let friends shoot while drunk :D


And before anyone asks; No, we can't have a sticky thread about N/W shots taken while intoxicated! Just thinking about it makes me smile tho.
