Synchronized Joy

The Claw Machine at Six Flags. I can't get enough of this venue for shots like these. My daughter on left. :)
Super cool!! Did they win. How did you time this and capture it in the low light. Fun and a fav!

@amandal I used a higher ISO, which I used to really hate, but now I love. Shutter was not too fast, so steady hand. Continuous fire. They did lots of jumping for me. :)

@houdiniem It really was!

Great shot

Love this one too. I am learning not to be scared of pushing my iso up especially on shots like this.

Very dramatic - I need some explanation on a claw machine!!!

Another cracking shot Daryl, fabulous timing and I think the B&W is absolutely perfect for this.

I think even better than the other! Creative idea!

@quietpurplehaze Missed your question! In many arcade-like venues, there is a machine that has a "claw" game; The machine has a mechanical claw that the player guides to hopefully extract a prize from a pit of things (stuffed animals, iPods, anything) below and to a chute that delivers the prize outside the machine. Folks spend tons of money on trinkets worth nothing--because the claw is "loose" and must be perfectly positioned over the prize (because the pit is full, it is hard to get anything loose from the other things, AND the claw can lose its grip when it has something successfully--ugh!). My children have been life-long addicts. For the purpose of my shots, I had them pretending to play. If they play, they pay. :)
