I only do that with longer than normal focal lengths. The reciprocal rule is OK, but it does not take body frequency vs. magnification into account. Here is a test image from a 35mm lens on a 645D at f/3.5, 1/40s, and 1600 ISO plus a few 100% crops. The softness is not from camera shake. I have about a 50/50 chance at being sharp with a 55mm lens at 1/8--can't find a sample right now.Like you, I'm starting to realize that I need to go 1/(2 x focal length) to get a sharp image, hence a 120mm lens should be shot at 1/250 to be 'good'. This should get even more interesting since I might be able to try shooting in Shutter priority at 1/300 with a 150mm lens and come out decent at the set ISO.
My technique for handholding is quite tight - i tuck my left arm close to my body and take a wide stance, trying to mimic a tripod. Inhale, then slowly squeeze the release slowly on the exhale.
home base for a few boats, Socrates and friends

this was wb'd off of the white band on the boat, don't know what i did with the other version???
Nice urban cameos. This feels almost Stephen Shore in nature.back in the navy yard; cannons, weber grill, bollard and cranes
I like this shot quite a bit Dave... very nicely done.Dear all;
Really been liking the p30+, shot with Liz Ashely a few weeks back.
Fully gallery available, just drop me a note as I prefer not to post to forum.

4:30-5:30 scheduled but ours was delayed by 15-20 minutes. Puts you over the Napali Coast around 5pm when the light is just starting to get good but not too dark.wow ... fantastic
I'm in Kauai now and debating on a helicopter ride ... what time of day was this?
Great perspective and wonderful light. :thumbs:Photographer, approaching thunderstorm, central South Dakota. 645D, 35mm A, PS B&W conversion.
Loverly Wanye. Is this a July shot? I want to put this on my schedule for next year.Lavender has come and gone again in Mona, Utah. Actually took a couple of small workshops down for evening shoots this year. This is my favorite from this year. DF with IQ180, 105-210 at 105, 1/13th at f/12 ISO 50
Yes. Last year they started cutting on the 19th of July. This year they started on the 21st. It varies based on the sugar content of the flowers. It takes them several days to cut so even after they start cutting there are plenty of places to shoot. We usually start calling them about the 7th of July to get an idea of how the flowers are progressing ... I think it's normally a few days earlier, last two years the flowers have been a little late due to cooler summers.Loverly Wanye. Is this a July shot? I want to put this on my schedule for next year.
Very image. :thumbs: However, I find the darker clouds top right distracting, did you consider to remove them?Lavender has come and gone again in Mona, Utah.

I tend to be very minimalist in my conversions and subsequent photoshop work so rarely do I consider removing things unless they aren't natural or don't seem to belong, or something I would prefer not having in the shot but can't come back when they would be gone (such as people). Not that I have problems with it, just sort of in my nature since I'm pretty old school (or maybe I'm just getting old).Very image. :thumbs: However, I find the darker clouds top right distracting, did you consider to remove them?
