I took this photo of the Coleman Bridge at nightfall from the beach in Yorktown, Virginia. I joked when I took it that it comes with certain boasting rights. I took it handheld with a 1 sec exposure. I did have help from image stabilization, but that's still an awfully long exposure that takes serious relaxation and meditation to achieve. Some credit is due to this small, light, economical lens, though. Its image stabilization is amazingly good -- and so is its image quality. I'm never ashamed to take it on a walk on the beach. (Canon EOS 40D, 18-55mm IS at 42mm, ISO 800 f/5.6, 1s.)
