Ok, not exactly his first swing experience ever, but pretty close (within a few days). It's extremely difficult getting a motion panning photo of a kid on a swing. Being an arch movement, it's harder to follow at the appropriate speed than a straight line. Plus, with him coming somewhat at me (instead of me looking completely from the side, as is seen in a lot of motion panning shots), the focus plane becomes a hundred times more difficult to get right. Plus, I needed a small enough aperture to get a longer shutter speed, but not too small so the background is out of focus. I actually tried on a sunny day, and then waited for a cloudy day to try again.
I'm certain this has no chance to win, and may not even stay above 5, although those understanding the difficulties mentioned above may score it a little higher than those that just say "it's a kid on a swing, how hard is that?"

| Perfect use of technique... should have cropped tighter on the kid because the background is so dull... |
