I firmly believe that holding a cocktail in one hand while shooting a photo with the other increases the chances for getting a great shot. Drinking the cocktail however may cause blurriness. Obviously you hadn't started drinking yet. Nice photos.

Great captures, buddy. Taking a shot with one hand while holding a shot with the other is precisely my kind of photography.

Great shots on the long end of that lens Dave, you have become quite coordinated.

Looks like you posted the same photo twice?

Anyway, it's a cool shot, even more impressive that you got it one-handed while knock-down stinkin' drunk...
