Carrying on the carousel tradition by egad

Carrying on the carousel tradition

This afternoon, my husband and I took our son to a beautiful 1914 carousel which boasts hand carved horses by famed Russian carousel designers Stein and Goldstein. I have very fond memories of this carousel because as a child, my parents took me and my sisters there frequently. I was so excited to take little M. there for the first time. He was a little rambunctious and wouldn’t sit on the horses for me, so we took our two rides in the chariot. He sat on one of the stationary horse for my husband, so he was able to experience an actual horsie ride. It turns out that the carousel is actually pretty hard to photograph because the building that it is enclosed in is not much bigger that it, so it was a little difficult to get a wide angle shot.
This is amazing! Insta fav!!!!

@mcdougall Thanks for the fav. We need to go back again.
@jsl0082 you are very sweet! Thanks Pooh.
@cpmitchell lol...thank you. Check out my next photo. It is also a check on the 365 to do!
@nattybabe The little guy was a little too crazy this time. I will definitely go back again and capture a horse next time.

Lovely motion blur on this. :)
June 14th, 2011  
I love the blur on this, it really makes it. Sounds like a fun time!
June 15th, 2011  
Nice! For next time..Would a burst of wi-fi or cable off-camera flash isolated the horses enough to be visible in the shot but retain the motion blur?
June 16th, 2011  
WOW this is great. is this a long exposure photo??
June 16th, 2011  
This came out wonderful. I've taken my kids to that Carousel, too. It's a really beautiful carousel and so big compared to some others we've been on with the kids.

@swiegers Thank you Shayne. Yes it is a long exposure shot. @billiusbog I don't really know much about flashes, so I will have to do some research before I go back. Thank you for the suggestion because I agree...I don't love the grey horse smear.
June 18th, 2011  
what a trip! the lights got me goin' right round with it =)
