Tallinn

So we decided to take a "honey weekend" in Tallinn. When we got of the ferry we were struck by the heat! It was so incredibly hot that we almost melted away.

Tallinn is so incredibly beautiful. The old town offered me thousands of photo opportunitys and I can't possibly publish them all here so I've decided to only have a few images here.

I took this with my 400mm Tokina lens. It's really hard to take good pictures with it since I didn't have a tripod, and with the aps-c sensor it corresponds to 640mm. Had to make the shutter really short. But I'm pleased with the result, really like the bird on the chimney as well.

This image was a challenge since there were a group of Russian tourists there also taking thousands of images and thy didn't have the courtesy to wait, they just placed them self in front of my lens. Another difficulty was the shadows, could have used a tripod to make a HDR image. But I have no tripod. any suggestions for a good cheap light stable tripod?
