Anyone ever take a quick, action shot, without even thinking?

Over the July 4th holiday and the following week after that, my daughter, son-in-law, and my granddaughter were up visiting from Camp Lejeune (USMC base in North Carolina).
I found this photo amongst all the ones I took over the holiday and this was (in my opinion) one of the better ones, as (as I remember) I ran back into the house and grabbed my Nikon D3500 with the 35mm lens still on it, and took some photos of my granddaughter playing in the sprinkler.

Make: NIKON CORPORATION
Model: NIKON D3500
ISO: 100
Aperture: f/2.8
Shutter speed: 1/800 sec
Captured: Sat, 11 Jul 2020 16:51pm


Also, as seen in my profile photo, that was taken this past spring at the military base housing on Camp Lejeune, when my wife and I drove down there to visit. I am reading a Dr. Seuss book to my granddaughter before bedtime.

Anyone else a Grandpa on this forum?

Sure, that's why I setup my gear so it behaves as close
to a point and shoot as possible.

Yep, a gran'dad too! :P

Light is free… capturing it is not!
