I did plan this photo while my son kept jumping off of the steps. I did move around the steps to check an angle in such a away that I will not get clutter in the image. By the way this is a new house and we just moved in 3 weeks back. The only mistake I thought I did while shooting this picture was using an ISO 1600 on D70 which caused some noise. This is something I keep forgetting anytime I change the ISO value on the camera. I shot this at 1/30th of second at f5.6 and used Nikkor 50mm/f1.4. Thanks again to all of you as this is the first time I ever got some positive feedback about my picture on the gallery. This picture I am submitting as part of my assignment at NYIP depicting motion.
