Maker's notes:

I was shooting my grandchildren playing in the yard. Over a week I spent a lot time with them and the camera so they finally ignored the camera while they played. Annabelle never stops moving, so camera was set to make sure of at least a 1/500 sec. exposure time. I used aperture priority set at f/5.6. With ISO 800 it gave me a 1/640 sec exposure. Lens was at 76mm, metering mode was center weighted to it would set exposure on Annabelle. No flash was used. Camera was handheld. Photographer was laying on the ground. Offset was accomplished by cropping in post production.
