    excellent! – all my fluffing around on Saturday with a tripod and shit, and you just got in there hand held – I am very impressed

  • Rick Fin replied

    Thanks Peter! I find tripods are not necessary for fast shutter speeds with good lighting conditions. In fact I find them terribly cumbersome and time-consuming so I only use them when absolutely necessary. I’m always ready, camera around my neck, lens cap off, camera on & ready to shoot…
    Having said that, I couldn’t have done it without your macro lens. Thanks again. :)
