<p>EXIF: D300, 70-200 VR, 1/100, f/13, ISO 800, 160mm</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It was extremely overcast, I was shooting handheld (as always) giving the old VR on the 70-200 a real workout. I wanted all the leaves relatively in focus, which meant a high ISO and slow shutter speed which I could do with the VR and with her basically just sitting still.</p>

<p>Focus point was, as usual, the eyes.</p>
