Which f/1.4 lens did you use?

I'm not sure how much you know about this stuff and don't want to insult your intelligence, but if you are running out of light I would either: 1. Increase your ISO which can make shots a bit grainy depending on your camera. 2. Start taking panning shots. The attached photo was taken in...
