Snails and Handheld (Gabby)

When I was shooting in Puerto Rico in El Yunque I went on a six hour hike and decided that it would be too much to carry a tripod. Instead, I carried around a 50mm lens, a 180mm lens and a flash. I took this picture of giant snails handheld and had to take a few images to make sure that the picture was sharp. Just a simple tip for anyone shooting handheld - the rule of thumb is to make sure that your shutter speed is greater than the focal length of your lens under 1. For instance, if you are shooting with a 50mm lens, your shutter speed should be faster than 1/50 of a second. If you are shooting with a 100mm lens, your shutter speed should be faster than 1/100 of a second. This is a good rule of thumb to follow in order to ensure sharp images when you do not have a tripod.
