The only time I ever see TV is occasionally in a pub since I gave up allowing one in the house almost 30 years ago.  We were 1/2 watching the women's international gymnastics championships, floor exercises when a young woman came and started explaining what the significance of some movements in the scoring. As we chatted I took a photo of her using the little Z6 with 24-70 f/4 lens. Set manual exposure and AF-C , set ISO to 400 and slow shutter of 1/20(yes pretty dark place) and let the rear curtain bounce flash fill in the missing 3 stops. We both liked the shot because it captured her rich auburn hair. Here knowledge of gymnastics was impressive and when asked how she became so knowledgeable she replied she was in the 2008 Summer Olympics in China in Gymnastics, she was with her team but was injured in the first day so could not compete in the second day.Nothing surprises me here, I meet the most interesting accomplished people daily.  By the way, a girl from this city placed 3rd in the event we were watching, but I would have placed her as number 1 for her very feminine beauty alone, a stunner.  Ksenia, my new acquaintance in the photo mow teaches gymnastics now that she retired from competition 10 years ago.  Such a slow shutter allows more ambient and any movement would be 3 stops under exposed and the flash going off at the end of the exposure time would freeze and shake. I could have gotten this shot with much slower shutter using this technique called "Dragging the Shutter".[ATTACH]322967[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
