Lesson

When mounting a camera and lens with image stabilisation on a tripod always turn it off! This was the best of 50 shots in the snow covered park and is still rather soft but I like the composition so am posting anyway :)
There is beauty in the softness of this shot, I like it! I find that I shoot so little with a tripod that I am all fingers and thumbs when I do, i sometimes think I should write out a what to do list...lol!

Beautiful winter capture.

I have been caught by that many times or forgetting to turn it back on once off the tripod.
This is a great wintery shot. Like the glow from the light.

What is image stabilization and why turn off on a trip of?? Lovely photo!!

Gorgeous photo! Did not know that about turning off the stabilization. Like JackieR, why is this necessary?

Stunning mix of colours here - shame about the softness but at least you'll know to turn it off next time!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond @redandwhite Thanks. The image stabilisation allows a lower shutter speed to he used by compensating for the movement of the camera when handheld. Sometimes when mounted on the tripod it confuses the system and it tries to compensate for movement that isn't there hence blurring the shot. My Nikon lenses don't generally give any issues but this Sigma seems a bit more sensitive.

@rjb71 ahhh, thanks. Interesting, will look at my camera see if I have this 'problem'

Well, I think it looks just fine as it is, I like the added softness :)

@rjb71 Thank you for that info. I'll bear that in mind - I hope - when I next mount the camera.

The pink light cast by the street light adds a lovely glow to the picture. Looks really nice when viewed on black too.
