Rodin in Istanbul

[toshi43]

Hi, Bahadir.I'm impressed that you were able to get such sharp pictures at 1/8 to 1/10 shutter speed without a tripod. The Thinker is my favorite Rodin, but your very nice capture of Hand of the Devil could easily change my mind.
My Fuji S5200 has a Normal Light mode that atually works quite well for shots like this, although a DSLR is still the best choice by far. I'm trying to convince my wife that an Oly E500 or Nikon D50 would make me REALLY happy this Christmas...:G:G:G

I think my meditation practice when a university student still helps me in some ways.. Some even say my hand is as stable as a dead's while at work:G Speaking of hand, btw,I also find Hand of the Devil really charming...

So nice to hear that your wifecould beso supportiveto yourcreative hobbyas togive a DSLR to you as a gift She might also consider a k100d for its built in image stabilizer. Anyway, there are still three months for these models to become even more affordable for a present, which is good for you:-)
