Submitter's name:	CyberSimian
Title:	Andrew
Gear used:	OM2 + 75-150mm f4 Zuiko zoom; Canon FS4000 scanner
Exposure:	Centered-weighted TTL auto (details not recorded)
Film used:	Ilford HP5 pushed to 800ASA, developed in Ilford Microphen
Technical information:	The picture was taken handheld, using available light indoors, with the lens that I happened to have with me at the time (the 75-150mm f4 Zuiko zoom). Close examination shows that there is nothing in the picture that is truly sharp. This is likely due to one or more of the following factors: (1) lens used wide open (least sharp), (2) insufficient depth of field, caused by wide-open lens with zoom on moderate tele setting, (3) focussing slightly in error (candid picture-taking meant constant refocussing was necessary), (4) shutter speed too slow for handheld photography, resulting in slight camera shake.
Subject information:	My nephew Andrew, age 2.5 years.

Well, if you ecer figure it out, unsharpness, you'll have a great replacement technique for a soft focus lense. I don't think it's really THAT unsharp. Besides with this kind of subject, you can get by with it. }:^)>

Very well captured portrait.

Well, maybe some of those factors you mentioned have been involved but have led to one fabulous picture. Congratulations!

Love the childs facial expression. Well done - children are not easy to catch but have an innocence that is irresistable.
