super steady shot

A couple Super Steady Shot examples from the past week

Fishing through all the vacation pics and thought I'd share some more. All SSS no flash with the kit lens.

Super Steady Shot

There was a discussion about the SSS a few weeks ago and I talked about a time when I forgot to turn on my SSS. Well, now I'm pissed off because last week, I shot photos for my friend's graduation. Almost all the shots came out great, but some had some motion blur. I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out why that was. I took ridiculous amounts of shots, but some, even at reasonable-for-handheld-shooting speeds (kit lens or my 50 mm) like 1/13th of a second came out like total crap. I was so disgusted with myself after trying to edit them in Lightroom.

Super Steady Shot spoils you

I turned off SSS to do some work with a tripod and didn't remember to turn it back on when I was done. Needless to say, I was pretty annoyed when a series of shots came out blurry. I get so used to SSS that I take it for granted and forget what a difference it actually makes. Anyone have this trouble?
