    Handheld one second shutter speed

    A friend of mine and I went down to the marina last night after out weekly photography meeting to take some pictures. I was telling him that I had fairly steady hands. I didn't have my tripod with me so I took a few handheld shots to show him what I could do. This shot was only taken to show him how steady my hands are and not for any other reason. I took this handheld without any support at a shutter speed of one second with my Nikon D7000 with my Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 EX DC OS HSM. See what you think, Jeff

    Remarkable... Don't think I could accomplish that.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    If I wrapped the strap around my arms and used them to tie the camera to my shoulder, I might approach this ability. I've done half-second shots with the straps wrapped and leaning against a pole. Now you're gonna make me go out and try!

    Re: Handheld one second shutter speed

    I appreciate all the comments. I have always had a fairly steady hand. I regularly shoot at 1/20 without even concentrating on what I am doing. I have found many shots at 1/5 second that were sharp that I had taken and didn't realize it was that slow until looking at it on my computer and noticing the speed in the info section, Jeff

    Of the vertebrate animals, it's the cold-blooded ones that can stay still the best . . . . .

    That could be it, but I think that the real reason is that at my age I just move pretty slow, Jeff :thumbsup:

    You gotta give some credit to Sigma's OS image stabilization. That said, getting a photo this sharp handheld at 1 second is ridonculous.
