The Carnival

[kstraw2]

Here are a few shots I took at a local carnival. In this first shot I tried to get all the rides in action, but the ferris wheel stopped just a minute before the "big shot" and "round up" started up. I had a few other shots in which the ferris wheel is spinning, but the other rides are not, but, I think I prefer this one.

Here's a shot of the games area. This was a 4 second exposure, so I managed to eliminate a few people who had walked by. I love the colors in this one. The ride in the background (right side) is the zipper.

Nice photos
Started to think how would look like first photo if big weel were spinning and had more light sources on it...

By the way - these shot on tripod or found place to take stable your Nikon ?

Hey Tony Flash,

These were taken on a tripod. If you check out my blog, I have a spinning (different) ferris wheel shot there.
