Camera mounted to back of a baby swing.

Great baby's viiw. Almost makes me "carsick". If I had thought it looked that blurred I never would have used it for my kids. Well, they did survive.

I'm guessing this was a long exposure? Very nice use to make your point. Love the colors and composition.

This is an interesting idea. I find that I'm not sure where to look, though.
