I did this once when abroad but my girlfriend quickly apologized for me to the waiter and since then I use pardon ;)

I am an enthousiastic amateur - I shoot for fun and to have something more than a - hopefully fond - memory of whatever I was looking at or enjoying while taking pictures, be it a fragrant home-cooked dinner, a heart-warming sunset or just that annoying bird that woke me up.

My pleasure. I have thought of a monopod, but thought it would take about as much room as a tripod. And with good light I don't really need one, so... I think I'll just keep looking for now - thanks for the advice though ;)

Thank you for the further compliments. The animal pictures were hand-held with the 45-200mm, I do not have a tripod yet but now and then I am browsing for one, though it does kindof go against the take-the-camera-everywhere-where-I-go idea ;) hillwalkinggirl - I do not have a second camera to...

I thought I'd chip in and share something taken last week, with the pancake ;)
