Hi fletch,
Yes I did use a tripod although when I have the head part raised I find it has a lot of flex and it attends to move for a while after hitting the shutter button. I use the 10 second timer to allow for time to stop shaking but I fear this is not always enough.
Maybe I need to invest in a sturdier tripod. Any suggestions.
Also, what do you focus on in a picture like the one I took. would you have used the pilon to focus point as I did or somewhere else?
Cheers Carl
