Low-Light Settings for Shooting Child I am trying to take pictures of my 1-year-old with my Nikon D70. I am trying to use window lighting with no flash, but the shutter speed is too slow and she is so quick that all my pictures are blurry. Thanks for any suggestions.

Allson, My first suggestion would be to bump up your ISO to about 800 and possibly set the camera on a monopod. It would move around with her as she moves MUCH better than a tri-pod and can be easily adjusted very low to the floor so that you can sit down. On the D70, you can also move your setting to the low-light setting on the top, which looks like a building with a moonlight shining over it. That setting works nicely too. Try those things and see if that doesn't help.

I'd avoid increasing the ISO too much, as all you're doing is adding noise and image degradation. Try moving your child as close to the window as possible, where your light level will obviously be brighter. Then maybe find a bigger window also. Michael H. Cothran www.mhcphoto.net
