"In theory", you are supposed to be able to hand-hold at ex-posures faster than 1/focal length.  Maybe you knew that already?  Of course, it assumes one has a steady hand.

I used to hear the rule of thumb was 1/30 if you had a really steady hand.

A Doll A Day 2022:

8 December - Cannons! Little Cannons and Big Cannons!

9 December - Seashells! Big Seashells and Little Seashells!

Here's another rocket launch for Alliecat:

Falcon 9 Rocket Launch from Cape Canaveral as viewed from Ormond Beach

This was the most interesting launch I have seen thus far. It was an early evening launch, so the flame appeared much brighter in the sky, and the setting sun illuminated the vapor trail. This was the first time I have witnessed the first stage separation, which appeared as a circular "puff" of vapor. Shortly after the stage separation, a second flame appeared in the sky as the first stage re-ignited briefly to decelerate for a landing at sea.
