Yes..yes they can..I think you've just proved this.
I dont mind stuff being a bit blurry, I found out you cant really help that (I found this out when I went to take pictures of the destruction hurrican ivan did, the wind made some things blurry) But you captured this image at the right time, it is great
Mike, The rating here is not mine and I haven't rated. The photo looks to be composed well, but is Awful dark and seems out of focus. Besides the camera, what lens and camera settings did you use? F/2.8 or less? Continuous focus mode? Spot metering? Av Priority????
