Who's up for dark and moody?! :D This one is definitely best viewed on black, but I guess that's not really an option on this site. The story is on my website, as usual. Not so much a story this time as a rationale for why I've spent five years of my life devoted to exploring the Dolomites. I've shared a 1280 pixel version here, which is much larger than the size you'll find on my website.

Superb as always.

No room for tripods mate, the place was heaving with punters.

As for Lola, I don't see her that often (it's hit and miss which friends we see when walking our hound), and never in those lighting conditions.

Cheers :)

Monopod then.... or the string trick... the one where you get a piece of string, a D clip for your camera base plate, then make a triangle of string by standing on it and holding it taught as you have the camera at your eye.... pull tight when shooting and it will give you less shake.... try it... it works great for me in galleries... :)

Hey that's a great idea, but I refute your camera shake theory as I was shooting at 1/500.

I will put some string in my camera bag and try it sometime :)

Cheers :)

Hey look, I'm one of those douches who takes photos of their lunch and posts it online....

Actually the douchy part is that you didn't bring enough to share with everyone and now I'm hungry for fries. I love food photography (and food styling in general TBH) when done right. Problem is, most people don't do it right! lol
