D500 with 24-85 lens at 29mm(essentially 45 mm on crop sensor), 1/100 sec., f 6.3, ISO 1400 (auto-ISO), lume cube on face, off at an angle to the left. Our granddaughter was moving so fast this is basically a grab shot. We were at a Christmas party and she was fascinated with the tree for about 3 minutes. My niece was assigned lume cube duty which worked about 10 percent of the time due to our moving target.
I have been mostly absent for awhile. Serious family illnesses, hospitalizations and surgeries. Even this little one did not escape as she had RSV over Thanksgiving , resulting in a hospital stay . She has recovered fully as is evident by this pic and her energy last weekend.

Kathy: Just wonderful to see the curiosity and joy in her expression . May the New Year be full of recovery and encouragement for you and your family. >=))>
Growing so fast and so cute! The lighting is nice and soft. I hope the family illnesses improve next year, I know it makes life quite challenging. Merry Christmas!
