Katinka English, The stolen hat (PEOPLE 2022)

I was sitting in my house fitting my new Nikon lens onto my camera. My daughter ran past me, grabbing my new hat on her way out the door. I chased after her. When she stopped and turned around she gave me such a cheeky smile. I lifted my camera and clicked this shot. I was using my Nikon Z5. ISO 200, 50mm, f7 1/500 sec.
