    Very nice but it looks like you missed the focus on #'s 3 & 4

    Sorry to hear about the braces. What was the speeds here? They seem bright enough that the speed should have been fast enough to counter any shaking.

    Wow, you handheld 1.3, that is very hard to do.

    Very cute pics, especially that little snowman, and yes, really likin' that colourful bokeh background.

    Fun play!!
    yup fab colourful bkgd! I like shot 3 here for it's 'rule of thirds' positioning but it is soft.

    HIGHLY recommend a tripod for any speeds slower than 1/60.

    Normally I recommend higher end tripods but any 30-50 dollar tripod is better than hand-holding at 1/1.3
