If you ain't got that swing...

.... keep practicing until you get as high as this girl was swinging. So high and easy that I could not resist to capture her.

This shot certainly made me flash back to the past! This was one of my favorite things to do as a child. Boy....did it feel like I was high in the sky!!! Did you catch any of her on the back-swing? A series would be fun.

Nope, no back swing. She was there for a few minutes and gone again. So no time for a back swing picture. Here is another one I managed to do.

The second and third are OOF. The first is nice.

R1 is OK, methinks. Next time simply set to full manual, get the aperture around 8 and shoot a bit tele, so DOF would cover the swing range.
Cheers!

Thanks for looking and comments. Good ideas. I could have gone into manual focus and more tele. BTW the aperture was 9.
