REALLY SUPERB capture of that magic light!!! Love the way you've framed this and your POV!!! Can't beat that gorgeous wide angle for a scene like this!!! EXCELLENT work my friend!!! #5064010

Peter R. Hammer November 12, 2007

Thanks Alexis. The extreme wide angle is very good but it does create geometric distortion at the edges. I had to do some work to compress the ferris wheel to something which wasn't quite so oval. #5064162

Wow...that water must have been really still. Love that sharp reflection. #5092653

Peter R. Hammer November 18, 2007

Thanks Susan. It was pretty still in places or else flowing so smoothly that there were no ripples. #5092669
