Default Ferris Wheel Patterns

I love the patterns you get from a combination of the rotation of the wheel, the lights moving up and down the spokes and different shutter speeds.

Ferris wheel 2
f/13, 3 sec, ISO 200, 23 mm


Ferris wheel
f/13, 2 sec, ISO 200, 18 mm

oooOOOOOoooh!!!

I really like the second with the spiral going on. GREAT effect you've captured!

Boy would I love to be able to do the same with the double-ferris-wheel up at Lake Winnepasaukah (if the old girl's still working, that is)
