I think the really great thing about being a photographer is the ability to take any situation and find some beauty in it. Take this shot for example . . . it's pouring out. Can't see more than 20 or so feet in front of you with fog rolling in . . . what to do? Go in close-up! This was shot hand-held - not on a tripod! The trick? Set your camera to shoot at continuous high . . . which means it takes as many pics as the shutter and camera processor will allow - giving you the chance to capture at least one sharp frame!

Shot with my Sigma 70-300mm Macro at f5.6 at 300th of a second. ISO is 100.
