Let me tell you, the bedroom was dark! I noticed the stuffed dog, that I had got Carol when she was in the hospital a few years ago, lying on the bed. The way light from another room hit the dog's face grabbed my attention. So I just had to try a shot. If you check the Tech Notes, you will note that the camera was handheld at 1/3rd of a second. I do have a pretty steady hand! The result turned out to be just what I wanted.
