Really? Wow, I'm impressed. I noticed the shutter speed on the octopus shot was 1/3s ... I would never be able to hold a camera still enough freehand, and it's perfect clarity in the picture, the octopus didn't even move in that time ... totally impressed.

Do you have a remote for shutter release then? Even the act of pressing the shutter release gives me a tiny bit of camera shake, anything slower than 1/30s is pretty much a gamble for me. ..

So, any tips you could share? (Pretty please?!)

... And I feel oblivious, I don't see the lady in the background of the octopus shot. I stared and stared .. must be missing something .. I'm going to go look again now ...
