Carnival Shots

[jbtaylor]

Sorry for this but I just love the handheld, motion blurred shots of carnival rides. Move to the next thread if we are not of like minds.
a900 and 85mm 1.4 ZA.







and one that is not so blurry..

Hi JBTaylor, : )

Nicely captured colours and rotation motion; fun ride on the light. : )

Nice set JBT. They have a nice abstract feel to them. I especially like the 4th where you can make out the word hustle, but the man is doing anything but hustling!

second shot for me.

[jbtaylor]

#2 is my favorite as well Doc. Thanks.
As for #4, I could not resist the irony. Thanks for noticing Juanito200.
Always good to get a nod from you Yildiz.

Really like the last one JB

[Greg Beetham]

Yeah I really like the last one too, he's got a hustle happening but don't try to give him any cash ha ha. I also like the one with the three white streaks accross it, not sure exactly why.

Thanks Greg and Birma.
That unknown factor is why I like taking and looking at these images. In some sense it is planned (composition) but the long shutter speed gives a great number of options for the end result. Others tell me what these shapes remind them of. I don't see it but am glad they do. Lastly, I was trying to get shots with still humans to contrast the sections of movement in the frame. Images 2 and 3 are examples with the 3rd being the best representation of my efforts. The white streaks seem to deliver me to the space where he is and then I must condiser his stillness. Am I thinking about this too much?

[Birma]

Am I thinking about this too much?

Possibly JB - if in doubt take more pictures .

[jbtaylor]

Two solutions to every problem are
1. Play more golf, and
2. Take more pictures.

[Greg Beetham]

Probably not a bad strategy actually, if you can fix your golf game you can fix anything ha ha.
