Slightly lean on a wall by the side, compose, take your sight away from
the finder, instead look *at* the camera while shooting, do not breathe...
That's what I did. This one was one of the two relatively sharp pictures
among four.
Furthermore, I think 1/60 is not so slow. It is the maximum real speed of
the camera where you obtain a full curtain opening, without a sliding
curtain stripe. Now, the question is, why do they claim that, say, 1/500
would be sharp for a 500mm? The sweep of the opening will be the same as
with 1/60, and a hand shake will, this time, produce an unusual smear.
The "O" with double dots is pronounced as the wowel part of "er" in English.
Mostly spelled as "oe" in ASCII German, which is pronounced the same. It
exists in the surname of the German prime minister Gerhardt Schroeder, or
the famous Goethe.
I could finish the PhD so late because I had to work in different places
for different projects in between. I confess that it was not a smart move.
