The Bird in Flight

Had dinner with a bunch of family tonight, it was my cousin's third birthday. This was about the best photo I could take, I was shooting somewhat blind and had slow exposure. To explain how blind this shot was, I thought there was a birthday cake in front of her. Turns out they had moved it.

For some reason, I still can't get my flash to fire independently of my meter, something my old camera could do... grr. I think I'm just doing it wrong. As you can see, she's a cutie, although her movements seem to have given her a black eye in this photo. Weird.
