Fly me to the moon! by gilbertwood

Fly me to the moon!

Literally happening!! A new ride has arrived at the seaside fairground called the Sling Shot .I found a position near the beach where the moon and capsule could meet :) It catapults a capsule, with 2 people inside, up to 90 mtrs ((300 ft) high, at speeds up to 100 kph (60 mph) I guess it"s not for the feint-hearted :)
Very cool POV... well spotted.

No...No...and thrice NO.......excellent pic though !

That was a clever idea. Think I will skip the ride

Good grief -- I'd be terrified, but what a great resulting image!

Beautifully captured in very limited light Denise, every year at the British Motogp they have one of these, had a go on it with my son just for a laugh three years back:)

Not for me then! You've done well to capture it.
January 14th, 2019  
Very nicely framed. It looks really cool. My wife has done this. She screamed all the way through it :) Not for me though :)

Wow great timing...........not something I would do!

Great result Denise. I've seen rides like this. There is no way that I'd be getting on it !

Great action shot! I love that you’re able to clearly see the folks in the ride. Well done with your angle to catch it all.
January 14th, 2019  
What a shot, not for me though ;-)
January 14th, 2019  
Oh boy! Not for me. Not today anyway ... there would have been a day!

Yikes- don't go on this ride after having a meal! Awesome capture- but definitely not I'd ride I'd be in line for. You really planned this out well and got a dramatic shot for your efforts.
