A bit unusual, I suppose, to come back from a trip and show everyone one of your failures, but this seems to me to be an example of something I could never have hoped to get with a fully manual camera. I was in a crowd of people in the new part of Fez (new meaning only 700 years old) a couple of days before the end of Ramadan, when people dress their little girls in new costumes and have fresh henna tattoos done. The medina is very dark inside so this was shot at 1/8th second. The movement of the girl's hands to her head lasted a very short time and I would never have been able to set the exposure, focus, frame etc. with AF and AE. The whole crowd of people was surging forward too. SR would probably have pinned it.
