ISO 400 f/1.4

(My latest trick is to use the sports setting - I like to call it the 'Running Man' and just take bursts of photos. When photographing people I seem to be able to capture more natural photos rather than waiting for one moment to present itself. I think this is due to the fact I'm a novice though and not a pro, but it works for me -and they also seem to have a more natural light too!)

4. Scrabble anyone???
