This is the first thing she likes to do at the playground, swing. It’s her favorite thing. She gets teary eyes with a cracked voice when she tells me not to stop swinging her. I set my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV at f/3.5, 1/1000 sec, ISO 50. I used 1/1000 sec to freeze the motion. I used the 50mm prime lens. After swinging her, I moved to the front of the swing, I positioned the camera on its side in my hand, set my focus point and set it to Auto Focus Servo. I lowered the highlight and exposure on her shirt that the sun was shining on. I converted the image to black and white and I went into the Black & White Mix so that I could add +6 to the Green and Aqua. I added Sharpness and Detail in the Detail Tab. I set -6 to the Highlight Priority to create a slight Vignetting. In the Calibration the Red and Blue Hue were adjusted. Additionally, I added saturation to the Blue under the Calibration tab. I finally cropped the image.
