We spent more than an hour photographing in the classrooms of this school for children with special needs. Some of them, such as this child, became so excited at the presence of my camera that she began to clap and sing with great exuberance. How best to capture this exuberance? The classrooms were dark with few windows, leaving me with but three options. I could increase the ISO and risk muddy images. I could use a flash, as other photographers with me were doing, and clearly stop the action, but in doing so, I would risk making a harshly illuminated, snapshot-like image. Or I could stay at ISO 100, and shoot the scene at a very slow shutter speed – in this case 1/5th of a second. I opted for the latter, and it worked perfectly for my purpose. Her hands are seen in both an open and closed position, simulating a clapping action. Her mouth moves as well – you can almost hear her voice. Most of all, we sense her spirit, enthusiasm, and above all, her joy. I shot her again and again, and each time I would make a picture, her happiness intensified.
