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.
