1/40 second at f/4.0,  ISO 200, focal length 109mm

By all rights this image should not exist.  This was a spur-of-the-moment shot.  It was taken indoors, with oblique, late-afternoon light streaming through the window, and using shutter speed that was almost a third slower than my non-image-stabilized lens required.  I had just walked indoors and hadn’t bothered to adjust my ISO when I saw Marshall staring out the window.  He saw me raise the camera out of the corner of his eye and when he turned I grabbed the shot.  Miraculously, I the resulting image was razor-sharp.  Days like this it is better to be lucky than good.
