I was supposed to shoot using a minimum shutter speed of 1/500 sec. in shutter priority mode since my 70-300mm lens at 300 mm was non-VR or unstabilized but when I saw this fellow making faces at me, I snapped the shot at once before he changed his mind and found out later my shutter speed was only 1/60 sec. In spite of the low shutter speed, I still got a sharp focus on his face much to my pleasant surprise.
