The Round Up


	The Round Up ~Elements of Design~ People stand on this spinning ride as it tilts sideways and uses centrifugal force to hold them in place Aimee C. Eisaman

Oh, Aimee, I like this better than the first one!!! The thumbnail really pops and the full view is more awesome :) Cool!!!

This was the same ride of course, but with a slower shutter speed to blur the lights! I had taken many pictures of this with different settings. I kept the first one because it captured more of the background design on the base of the ride, but this one felt more exciting to me. I'm glad you think it is exciting too! Thanks UV!

I, too, like this one better. Cleaner. I think they'd do well in either category. I'd probably go for EoD though.
Also I like your spider icon.

Thanks for the input Debbie! Sometimes I have a few shots of the same thing and just can't decided which one I like best! Glad you like my spidey! It's going to be my submission for the challenge this time so you'll get to see it in large form soon!

Great shot, Aimee! These images are always fun to take.

LOL Laura I wouldn't know what one of those looks like other than in movies! U one of the high rollers? I'll have to hook up with you if I ever make it to Vegas! I'll be the little old lady at the slots machines! LOL! Thanks!

Vicki I don't recall using any effects on this one! Just a bit of contrast and color variations to boost the color! Thanks for taking a look!

So where were you standing to take the photo? Not in the ride itself I suppose. smile.

I like the action implied by the blurred lights. Well done Aimee.

Laura is right, it does look like a roulette wheel. I saw many of those last week while I was at the rodeo; and I walked right past them. Las Vegas didn't get a dime out of me.

No actually this is a fairly large ride and I was standing on a hill above it about 50 yards away. Glad you didn't lose any money! :~) Thanks Irene!
