I still don't know how to use my camera, like at all, but Stan showed me a few things about it, and I'm getting better. I finally pulled off what I think is a decent night time picture of the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco:
The photo is still a little blurry, but way better than what I have been taking to date. The secret of this shot was that I balanced the camera on something solid -- like a makeshift tripod, so that it remained steady during the long exposure time.
I was out doing the tourist-like thing with Anjali and her friend Eva yesterday. We hit Tennessee Valley, the aforementioned palace, North Beach, and Ghiradelli. Not a bad way to spend your Saturday afternoon/evening. The weather even held as well -- we got rained on during our final trek from Ghiradelli to the car, but that was it.
