This is a fairly typical shot of Emily Haines. She’ll do what she can, most of the time, to obscure her face.

Despite her stardom and general awesomeness, she seems conscious of her image to the point of shy/protective, and ends up obscured a lot.

But, from a technical standpoint, if I can’t get her eyes, at least I got her mouth nice and sharp.

Two words: lens flare.

Jockeying for position among the other six or so photographers at the arena that night, I waited for both this spot, then this shot, very patiently.
