The joy on her face while she was swinging high was so priceless. Her hair went everywhere. She was squealing and laughing so hard and so loud that if I hadn’t known better I’d guess that this was her first time on a swing. At one point she was even leaning back so far she almost flipped out of the swing.

My intention was to capture all the riot, but sadly I failed. Capturing flying hair of a moving child in a moving swing, and in shaded area was quite challenging. Well, it’s easy if you love non focused, bad composition image, but we don’t want to see that image do we. So instead, while she was winding down (a bit), I just called her out and was content with this capture. Being quite optimistic that the days will only get warmer going towards summer, I’m sure I will have more opportunity to capture another ‘riot on the swing’ moments.
