Swinging nephew

Posted by Jan (Bruges, Belgium) on 12 January 2008 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

One of the assignments of the photography course is to take pictures of playing kids. Most kids, even adults :), like the swing and so does my nephew.
Again I'm posting an image in B&W because my feeling is that movement is enhanced by removing the colors and increasing the contrast. I finally came down by choosing 1/60 sec as the shutter speed (in Tv mode), to have the kid sharp enough and the rest a bit blurry.
