Christmas Carousel  by harveyzone

Christmas Carousel

I went down to the river today to see the flood levels, (yes I actually got there today), but on the way back to work I passed through the Christmas Fayre again. As predicted it was busier than yesterday afternoon, but still not to bad. The Carousel was running so I took a few shots.

I could have done with an ND filter for this, because even at ISO50 I still needed f/22 to get 1/2 second exposures, and the small aperture showed up all the blemishes on the lens/sensor. I could have cloned them out, but was feeling too lazy.
i like the motion caught in the photo - i haven't a clue how to do this but just enrolled in an on-line photography course so hopefully this will be covered as i like the effect!!!

@ruthhowell Thanks. It is relatively easy, but you need a tripod, or a fairly steady hand (for 1/2 second exposures), and an ND filter will definitely help to get longer shutter speeds in daylight.

Love the blur of movement, thanks for the tips on ND filter.

Well it's a great photo despite all the things you could have done.
