As wheather turned out to be better than expected, I was out on the streets last weekend for some more shooting. I spent about an hour (until my camera's batteries went dead) at the "Karlsruhe Schlossplatz", which is located right next to Karlsruhe Castle.

After half an hour I had about a handful of "potential keepers" when suddenly my 30D refused to release the shutter. While my first thoughts were something like "Yay! At last! A reason for getting the 7D!" a quick glance at the display revealed something like "CF Err"... Aw, crap! No 7D and all today's images lost!

With a freshly formated CF card, I restarted from scratch. A couple of minutes before I already had found a nice subject and had an idea how to shoot it. However pedestrians kept on crossing my frame, so I had to proove patience. While waiting for people to move on (it took about 8 minutes to get the area free of people), I kept on looking around — and all of a sudden, this guy with his camera showed up, trying to get a picture of all these arcs.

And what about my originally intended picture? As I said, after 8 minutes of waiting and freezing I eventually got the shot, but: Back home, it turned out blurry... The 30D's preview definitely sucks at maximum magnification since it only shows some upscaled and interpolated low-res thumbnail, which lets you pretty clueless about the true sharpness of your shot!
