T3_0711205- The entire series was shot from my lap ;-) 3. - And the new shot of the kid the point of focus is a plane from the eye lashes across to the stitching on the coat. These new shots were taken at f2 at a 30th on a moving subway - and all the subway shots are at slow shutter speeds, wide apertures, and moving train...In addition to which, most are grab shots - so is the focus what it would be in a studio - or at a faster shutter speed on a solid platform?
