Love hurts: I hit the shutter at that fleeting moment in time when my daughter's baby decided the earring worn by his older brother needed posthaste removal. The image wasn't staged and the lens apparently knew on its own to focus on the pain (real, judging by the scream). It's not perfect, but I'd be lynched by the entire family if this photo ever fell victim to a system crash. Taken with a Canon 5D and EF 85 1.8 lens, running a pair of strobes in the foreground with sun setting behind.

Now I'm worried about posting anything else, since two flashes off camera, outside, triggered by PWs apparently a very common snapshot technique on cell phone cameras according to all the ratings of 1 this family keepsake has received. Sigh.
