You're not the only one. The mother and grandmother just love that photo. And yes, the baby suddenly moved very fast, and the adults matched suit. But after thinking about your comment, I tend to agree the shutter must have been much slower than 1/60. I took the photo with a digital camera with one nagging problem - every time I rotate the command dial to review a photo, it reverts back to some auto Tv-Av setting (rather than my manual settings) when I switch back to photo mode. I had been shooting at 1/125 flash sync. In this case I think the camera reverted to 1/30 or slower unbeknownst to me. It only meters for ambient when an external flash is attached, so a very slow shutter speed is likely. -- John Mustarde - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
