For Your Amusement
Uploaded: September 07, 2007
This shot was taken at the Seattle Center Amusement Park during the annual Bumbershoot festival. I was experimenting with the "Fireworks" setting on my camera to get the blur. I didn't have a tripod so this is handheld. I did a little noise removal in Corel XI and darkened a little in Picasa2.
