Premium Photo Competition 2012 Q3 : Entry Number 88

First we thought that this might be a necklace - but not so sure anymore. No idea really what it is, but it is cute and motion has been captured well. A girl sitting on a swing maybe? This image blown up really big could be interesting. Great!

This shot is of a very delicate papier mache doll that was a gift from my daughter. I gently swung the piece (around 9" tall) suspended from a boom arm using fishing line in front of a black background. I used my Nikon D700 with Nikkor 24-70mm/F2.8, F5.6, 1/6 sec, and tried to time the exposure at the right point in the swing. The motion capture effect was created using a Nikon SB900 Speedlight, rear curtain sync mode. Thank you for this acknowledgement! Kim Herold, Navarre, FL.
