Exposure info: 52.5mm focal length, 1/50 sec, f/2, ISO 100, 1:15 pm.
Trying to capture nine people seated along a large table in a dark room with a long exposure time, large aperture, and high ISO was not a good idea. I don't have steady hands and people were moving, so along with long exposure time some of the people appear blurry. The large aperture also meant the depth of field was shallow, which didn't help the focus issue.
If I had raised the ISO, then I could have decreased the exposure time and/or stopped down the aperture.
