That was on Copenhagen airport!
The guy stuck onto me as if I'd been his last chance to get a sell for the day!

Not the best method, perhaps, but my
percentage is better than shooting straight.

However, it seems to me by looking at the photo of the kid
on the kitchen floor, that you're also using slow shutter speeds.
With the 5DMKII and the 50mm f/1.8, I imagine you can go 1/250
with indoor available light, by using f/1.8 and ISO 1600.

when take photos of the kids,
The pictures on your site are very, very beautiful!
