Pentax DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF

The shadows along this wall literally took my breath away, and of course I had forgotten my tripod :( I want to go back and shoot more, but I'd also appreciate any advice, technical or creative, on how I can get the best out of the wonderful combination of light/shadow and old architecture. FWIW, the lowest and slowest my camera can do is 15 sec, ISO 400, f2.7. Thanks :D

Use the tripod and a longer exposure. Don't up the ISO unless you want to use a faster shutter speed. Composition definitely has some potential.

Thanks. :) I definitely wouldn't have changed the ISO if I hadn't been forced to handhold it and needed faster. I always shoot at ISO 50 if at all possible.
To be honest, I really didn't expect to get ANYthing except blur, but it was just so cool I had to try it.

One bump before I fall off the front page, then I'll shush :)
