Took some pics at an evening graduation last week, and as I was leaving, this pic said please take me. Fortunately I had a tripod with me.

The Old Arts Building on the main campus of the University of Pretoria

I was totally amazed at how much blur there was in the shots I took without the remote :scratch

    Thanks for kind comments all!

    Mushy: I now always keep a remote in the bags I use

    Skippy: the grass is wonderfully green as the uni has an amazingly strong spring on the campus - you should see my lawn :cry

    Marina: it is a photogenic building, I have lots of pics of it :D

    Dalantech & Socrate: exposure was pure guesswork, I decided on one stop under and took the pics - no PP adjustments here other than a touch of sharpening

    Awais: as I said to Marina, it is a nice building to take pics of (also the oldest on the campus)

    Thanks Ric - I think it's supposed to be some kind of reedbuck. Will check.
