It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

Carnival
I went down by the water after sunset and was surprised to see a ferris wheel all lit up across the harbor. Since it was such a long way away, I had to turn around and drive back to the house, and try and find my 300mm f/2.8 lens. I think it took me nearly 20 minutes of digging around to find it! When I got back to the harbor with my long lens and tripod, I started taking pictures. the ferris wheel was not moving at the time. I thought the photo looked pretty good. But then it started to turn and I made some longer exposures to get the blur - I was amazed to look at the final photographs, and realize how much better the blurred version was!
Love this.

ReplyDeleteWow! FOUR compliments! I was going to stop shooting, but now I am rejuvenated, so will continue! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe bursts of colors and distinctive shapes make this photo so hypnotizing. It is amazing that even with such disparate shapes, the image is so well put together - Beautiful!
