Happy Birthday Danielle!!! 7 today!!!

[Alison]

The 1st shot wasn't too bad but I am so upset the 2nd shot didn't turn out much better.

The lights were turned down, no time to re-meter my shot.
My shutter was fairly slow, and Danielle is obviously moving in the 2nd shot, so it isn't very clear
ISO was high so it's pretty grainy too.
I was frightened of setting my aperture to wide open for fear of the dof being paper thin and not getting enough in focus.
Didn't wanna use my flash for fear of the whole ambient lighting being ruined.

I see a no-win situation here. A total flop IMO!

Any CC on how to perfect this technique would be much appreciated, for future reference. TIA
