Carnival ride

[DeannaJB]

This was done at a shutter speed of 20 seconds. I wanted to take the same shot at shutter speeds of 15, 10, and 5, but my battery died before I could play with the different exposures. I like the pic, but really wish the red part of the ride popped out more. Any ideas?? Maybe the red would have been more vivid with a different shutter speed?
BTW, my 8yr old little girl rode that crazy ride.

Hello!

This is super super cool, in my opinion. Too bad your batter died.

If your concern is that the red isn't vivid enough, that actually isn't a big problem with your camera - you can easily enhance that red with post-processing. I use Photoshop, and I would use the selective color option to make that red more vivid. If you don't have Photoshop, I'm sure other types of software can easily correct that, too.

I don't know if a shutter speed shorter than 20 sec. would have changed the vividness, either. If you had a shorter exposure, the red would probably just look darker - but not necessarily more vibrant.

It's a very cool pic and a concept I like! :-)

Thanks for your opinion, I really appreciate it!! And I'm glad you liked my shot! Funny enough, I did try photo shop today for the very first time. I've been striving to get the pictures right in the camera first, and then learn to enhance them in photoshop later. But I couldn't resist playing with this one. Not sure if I over did it though.
