That's a pretty emphatic masterclass, Charlie - thank you for sharing.

Bill,

 

Thanks. I forgot to say that you just have to be very brave and accept that you will get fewer keepers. But you have to challenge the accepted norms eg max speed = 1/focal length

 

Veyron - 1/60th at 200mm focal length (80-200/4 ROM)

Lancaster - 1/125th at 280 (280/4 APO)

Drummer 1/30th at 180 (180 cron)

 

Good luck

 

Charlie

First time in a trap at a local club, quite like the blur at 1/500th.

I have always heard two different versions of how to make certain your handheld images are sharp -

 

Version #1:

Take your lens focal length and make a fraction out of it.

If you are using a 50mm lens, 1/60 is the slowest shutter speed that will assure handheld sharpness.

 

Version #2:

Take your lens focal length and make a fraction out of it, then multiply it by two.

If you are using a 50mm lens, 1/125 is the slowest shutter speed that will assure handheld sharpness.

 

I am a version #2 adherent.

 

Usually.

 

For me I take your #2 and keep doubling it for every 10 years over 40 years old. As you can imagine I would not mind having an M9 with 1/8000 or higher.

 

Sorry have now read the rest of the thread and fell into the same trap as others.

 

Love the photo examples here.
