[QUOTE="DonnieZ, post: 516670, member: 40831"] Forgot to include that I was using my SB-600 for these shots - had it pointed at the ceiling and slightly backwards. It gave a nice soft light that way rather than harsh shadows behind the subject. I had the max ISO set at 2500 - It's possible I had it set at ISO2500, not auto/max 2500. I'm slowly trying to work more manual settings in to my shooting and it seems there's much more to forget to check before taking the picture. I'm somewhat familiar with the reciprocal rule, however I thought that the OS on the lens would allow me to shoot a few stops lower handheld and still get fairly sharp images - the whole point of OS. Maybe the OS on the Sigma 17-50 isn't the best. I generally shoot with OS on when I have the camera off tripod. 1/60 doesn't seem unreasonable given the OS - or maybe I'm asking too much from the OS?
