As I post this, a crew of arborists and tree trimmers are shearing our overgrown trees of unnecessary branches, making them healthier and eventually more beautiful. Right now, my garden is looking a little bare. . .
f/20, 1/15, ISO 500, 65mm
Please notice the shutter speed.
No, I was not using a tripod. What I WAS using was aperture priority, which I am trying for quick shots. I wanted to get the sunburst in there, so had selected a very small aperture- and because I wasn’t using manual, I didn’t think to look at the shutter speed. You would think an alarm would go off or something!
Guess my hands were unusually steady today- no coffee yet!

Fabulous starburst! I just love this. And how perfect that he wore a red shirt and hardhat so he isn’t lost among the branches and leaves. The entire composition is excellent; it would make a great advertisement for the arborist.
And I’m impressed with the steadiness of your hand at 1/15. Overall, great job.
nice, great starburst and hand held!
