Raining in Chesham in Summer - Captured on Canon 550D - Tamron 18-200

I don't use the video on my DSLR very often so thought I would try it out

Would you recommend this lens for hand held shooting or is it tripod only?

Still happy with this lens? I'm thinking about buying this lens....

@gigicalifornia It is excellent value for money but like most fairly powerful zooms it is difficult to hold it still when zoomed in. It doesn't have image stabilisation either so that doesn't help. I've taken a few nice photos using the lens so I'm sure you will be happy with it. I actually sold my lens and bought the Tamron 18-270 instead. It is a lot more expensive though.

@johnsoncp13 Thanks for your quick reply. I just ordered a different lens, the Sigma 18-200mm OS version. It was on sale for only €279 or around $300. I've red good and bad reviews about it but i think i will like it :)

Cheers

@gigicalifornia I hope you enjoy the Sigma.

Scenic area you live in, it appears. it wouldn't be so green n lovely if it didn't rain a bit, i guess. Well that's what i try to remind myself when it's pissing down with rain here. ;O)

@fishypaw We have to take comfort from that I suppose. I've just been to Spain for a week. Very sunny and I hope to post more 550D video.

@st200ol I'm a bit red and green colour blind so I don't know :)

Raiing here too, but it does make everything green, maybe even a little too green in the case of the 550D, or is it my screen calibration?

Raining is pretty cool.
