It’s industrial photography time! Chris and Monika spent time to shoot at the former Continental factory in Hannover, which has been shut down for many years. Let’s re-visit the burst trick and find out how you can take hand-held long exposures without a tripod and still avoid camera shake.

I have used the burst mode, although maybe not as much as I should. When I have difficulty determining which is the best I go with the largest file size, assuming that a photo that is sharper and has more detail has a larger file size.
If you are ever in Detroit, MI there are a lot of abandoned buildings (Surprise, surprise
). Theres is a big problem with light in these places. I find a tripod, while works, is a real pain. Having to carry it around, set it up, take it down, its just too time consuming. I usually shoot hand held with the 50mm f1.8 lens. I’ll have to try the burst trick next time I’m there. Below are some pictures I took at the packard and MCS.

ok, so, I definitely screwed that up. The MCS set is here http://www.flickr.com/photos/psychoaliendog/sets/72157605057769205/
Well, you could call Chris lazy when he doesn’t take a tripod to an old industrial site…
this show is full of self congratulations—boring, boring, boring—too much time playing tips from the top —dont care about your wine–or if you are cold–or how much others like your show—what about talking about what you claim is the subject of the show–the burst
I always wanted to photograph such an old building, it’s amazing!
great shot! i love using the burst mode as well. what im practicing now is how to do perfect panning shots on really fast objects such as moving cars, bikes and even people.
