Swinger
Last Saturday, CAL (Central Alpha Legion) had our monthly outing to Genting, mainly at the outdoor theme park.
Upon entrance, Swing (the name that I gave, wouldn’t care what’s the real name), attracts my attention. Hearing people shouting, the movement of the swinger, and blue sky as backdrop was gorgeous.
The question is, how can I capture this and still feel all the above?
Few elements for me to include:
- Dynamic movement
- Blue sky
- Part of the swinger for identification
- Dynamic blur of people on the swing
- Moment where people shouting, either enjoying or terrified.
And I came out with this:
ISO 200 | 11mm | F22 | 1/125s
There are few other shots prior to this but none to my satisfaction.
Composition :
I carefully find an angle where the movement will come-in-from or goes-off-to corner of the frame. And for this photo, it came in from bottom-left and goes-off to top-left corner of the frame.
2nd Chance (If I were to shoot this again) :
I’d compose it from the other side to have cleaner background. Possibly during clear sky at late noon. Perhaps some silhouette shots as well!
