Oppps ... forgot that question. Canon EOS 10D is what I shoot with. Standard lens I use is a 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens ... and I also often use a 70-200mm f/2.8L IS lens. Yea ... faster shutter speed would have been nice. It's what happens sometimes though when you're shooting an event. You have little control over the surroundings, so you make do. I could have increased the shutter speed to catch her hand, but then the left side of her face (photo right) would probably have been almost completely black). It's one of the things that frustrates you when you shoot events. It's also one of the things that makes it such a challenge and so much fun. -=>Donald
