My mother on a flying fox.

Pentax K-x - 1/25 sec - f/0 - ISO 400- ~75mm

Very late afternoon light.

Almost cropped in GIMP, but didn't. Adjusted levels and scaled for web.

I took a lot of photos like this of all of my family using this flying fox (Dad in particular, he couldn't stop having goes). There's only a very small fraction that didn't come out unusably blurry. Even this one would be no good at a larger size. I should have shot at a higher ISO and faster shutter speed, and I probably could have still had a blurred background. Perhaps it was my technique though.
