Thanks for the tip . I don't exactly try to 'avoid' using my tripod.. I just don't find it entirely convenient at times haha. As it happens, this pic was snapped shortly after the Balloon pic I posted in another thread. I spotted the sunset and pushed the camera high up over the metal fence you can just barely see.. Before clicking a few times.

This was certainly the clearest of the images. Had the fence not been there, I'm sure I could've minimised blur.. But, unfortunately, the building site down the end of our road isn't exactly photographer-friendly .

I'll bear your point in mind in the future, though, and have the hindsight to walk around the 6'5" fence before spotting the beautiful sunset. Oops :blush2:!
