This is pretty much straight out of the camera. It's basically the classic arms outstretched self portrait with a moving backgroung thrown. I got myself swinging in the hammock, pointed the camera at myself framing as best I could, and snapped away. The camera moved with the rest of my body, keeping me sharp, while blurring the background as the hammock swung. I took about 30 shots to get this one. Continuous shooting mode is a blessing .

The one technical detail about the picture that bugs me is that the red channel is blown out. If you look at my shirt, it is red red and doesn't have as much detail as it should. Didn't pay much attention to the histogram while I was shooting.
