Ain't it great?  Something that feels this good must be illegal or
immoral.  :)

I "cheated" when I took some f/2 @ 1/4 sec shots by bracing myself,
and I'm utterly astonished at the quality.  I can only attribute it to
lack of a mirror flap.  On a tripod, my SLR works fine at these
shutter speeds.  Hand held?  Yeah, right.

I've been having so much fun with shooting wide open and seeing a very
narrow plane jump into focus on the final prints that I haven't done
much with the smaller apertures.  I think I'm going to set the
hyperfocal, and just go take some quick grab shots to see how they
turn out.

This is fun!!  :)
