Waist level

This kid was very shy and kept looking away from my camera. Whenever I held my camera up and pointed towards her, she would instinctively look away. I could not press the shutter fast enough and ended up with a few blur shots (due to low light condition).

I decided to try shooting 'blindly'. I set the multi-sensor Auto Focus to let the camera find its own focus point. Then I hold my camera down at the waist level when the kid was not looking at me.

Luckily I managed to capture her image at one trial, if not she would definitely notice that I was snapping her photo!
