Would have loved to have a tripod and try some long exposure effects but this was as good as it got handheld. This is Gracelands, a must visit place at christmas time in newcastle.
nice composition. it's a bit dark, but otherwise pretty good. There is a special way to brace one's camera without a tripod.
Bring your left arm up,and grasp your right bicep on the upper arm; with your right hand bring the camera up and lay it on your left upper arm.
Brace your back, hold your breath, and take the shot. this will give a very good support for about 2-3 seconds, depending upon the strength of your shoulders and arm, and the capacity of your lung power.
