Carrousel

I spent 2 hours today with a professional photographer in France, Mulhouse.
He showed me how to use my Nikon....
This shot is to illustrate the word "overexposed", but I really love it !
This merry-go-round ( carrousel in French) was lovely, full of colors, as the little houses besides .
Now "vitesse, diaphragme, sensibilité, ouverture, balance des blancs, déclencheur, exposition...and so on" don't sound like swearwords ! (Now I've learnt those words in french I have to translate everything in english as most of the time everything is written in english ....)

Oooh great job of it... exposure compensation or longer shutter speed? I have really started to fall in love with exposure compensation as that added "control" over a shot!

[Shanne]

I love it too, wonderful image - and some of those are easy translations, even I can do some of them

[Alison]

I love this too

[Kalexa]

Like how the colours stand out with the overexposure.

[Marie]

Awesome high key shot !

[Sandra]

Tout a fait magnifique, j'adore le traitement que tu lui a fait.

[Corinne]

@ozziehoffy long shutter speed (1.3s) and and 22 for the aperture, but I ve "satured" a bit to reenforce the colors, thanks for the lovely "great job" ;))
@shanne thanks Shanne, sure it is not too difficult :))

[Corinne]

@alisonp thanks a lot Alison :)

[Corinne]

@kalexa that's I really wanted to keep, colors and light! Thanks Kalexa :)

[Corinne]

@marieooi thanks Marie, happy you like it too !

[Corinne]

@sanfil merci sandra pour tes gentils mots, toujours appréciés, à part la saturation ( et encore je ne l'ai vraiment pas beaucoup poussée) , c'est vraiment l'ouverture et la vitesse...et le beau soleil qui ont fait le boulot ! :)

[Ulpi]

J'adore cet "overexposed" Carrousset!

[Corinne]

@ulpiphotos merci Ulpi, celui là est à la même place à l'année...j'y retournerai pendant qu'il tournera....là, il était fermé... ;)

[Paula]

[beachradish]

Theres something I really like about this ... very whimsical. Nice!

[Corinne]

@allisonrap Thanks a lot Allison :)
@beachradish thanks , I see what you mean... :)

[Darlene]

This came out fantastic, Corinne. How nice to have help with your photos for the day.

[Mags]

Great high-key shot, Corinne! Really very colorful and bright! Cheery!

[judith deacon]

Great shot, I really like the high-key effect, makes quite a fascinating picture.

[Corinne]

@darsphotos thanks Darlene, this photographer was very kind and patient...
@marlboromaam thanks a lot Maggie...I'm learning and I'm trying to use my manual settings more often ... :)

[Corinne]

@judithdeacon thanks a lot Judith, it was a premiere for me !

[Mark Bodha]

Beautiful image! I'd never have thought to deliberately over expose, so a real discovery to experiment with. Perfect idea to saturate the colours, the result is wonderful :)

[Corinne]

@mavibo thanks Mark, usually I do that on my computer, (processing/editing) after , but I wanted to learn to do that with my manual settings.
I think the result is the same BUT I have to say I'm so proud to have chosen my settings and have the result I wanted.... ;)

[Netkonnexion]

Great capture, interesting high-key interpretation.

[Corinne]

@netkonnexion thanks a lot :)

[ladyjane]

[Corinne]

@jenniferruge thanks Jennifer, I hope I'll remember everything he told me....have to do my homework's now :)

[Amy Spada]

It brought out the colors in a wonderful way...

[Sharon Lee]

It's beautiful

[Sarah]

Beautiful shot that captures the atmosphere of the place.

[Corinne]

@aspada @sugarmuser @flanners

[bardejov]

Overexposure can create an interesting atmosphere. Works in your shot.

[Meredith Jones]

Sounds like a fun 2 hours. Looking forward to seeing more things you have learned.
