One thing I've always photographed with enthusiasm is my kids swimming carnivals. During primary school they were the absolute best fun. As of last year my kids are all in high school and this shot is of one of my daughters from that first high school carnival. It was still high energy for the kids but very muted for us parents with Covid restrictions. Again due to Covid, this years carnival has already been postponed to later in the year.
