Night at the Fair

Description

This was my first attempt at taking pictures at a fair. I read in a book to try f/16 for 20 seconds - so I did that with a 28-70 Nikon lens on an F-5. The photo is overexposed so I saturated towards the yellow side in a Polaroid scanner. I liked the results... I think...

I like them, too. This is a very interesting image--very nice lines and colours. #8174

I really like this, Mary. Because it was a long shot, it looks more smooth than we're used to seeing in ferris wheels at night - but also somewhat translucent. The people almost look like they're waiting to get absorbed into this space ship on edge - very X-File-ish and unusual! #12522

Thank you, Janelle. I had the same feeling as well, like people standing in line to get on a space ship... #12534
