Comments on: Getting into the christmas spirit http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2009/12/07/getting-into-the-christmas-spirit/ A regularly-updated blog of a photographer in Dublin, Ireland Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:46:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Graeme http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2009/12/07/getting-into-the-christmas-spirit/comment-page-1/#comment-163 Graeme Mon, 07 Dec 2009 14:58:55 +0000 http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/?p=2343#comment-163 Good to see someone as anal as me about trying out new stuff before a big event!! I've done a few weddings on an informal basis, and have had very good results using my Canon 70-200mm f/4.0L IS. While the image stabilisation is good to get a couple of stops of anti-camera-shake, you do have to beware that it can't compensate for movement of your subject. I know *you* know what you're doing, but *I* got a few shots of blurry people simply because the slower shutter speed afforded by IS couldn't freeze their movement (Of course, done creatively, this can add something to the shot, but isn't always as desired!)
