Mission impossible

Sometimes you just surprises yourself with how far you can stretch the camera settings and still get a pretty good picture. The above image was taken in a room with only a small amount of light from a window.
When I was about to take the picture I realized that the small amount of light would give me quite a challange getting the image that I wanted. I increased the ISO to 800, didn´t want to go to far to avoid noise. With a aperture of f/5.6 this resulted in a shutterspeed of 1/8 sec. A shutterspeed almost as long as an eternity when shooting handheld. Add a focal length of 135mm to this equation and most photagraphers would probably run away.

How I managed to keep that camera steady, with the above settings, on my knees, surprises me. But how the cat in the picture didn´t move the slightest is a mysterium.

Anything is obviously possible if you only have the guts to try.
