one for the bucket list

my opportunities for nighttime ferris wheel shots are extremely limited... requiring, as they do, a ferris wheel (duh), darkness, a camera and a tripod... it is a rare occurrence to find myself at a fun fair in the first place, never mind one at night... never mind with tripod at the ready... so took the opportunity of the annual street fair to give it a go... methinks i should have opted for a slightly longer exposure to allow the circle to complete itself... guess i will know better for next time... assuming i bother again next year ;p

(yes, the colours were colourful - but i am just not in the mood for colour ;p)

a shot to start off the next mundane challenge in my other album

thank you so much for the great feedback on my chess shot from yesterday... like the subway, the chess pieces are things i feel i can count on when my muse abandons me...

[Roneil]

Beautiful black and white

[Myrna O'Hara]

But I really like how this came out. Did you go for a ride too?

[Katie]

Super cool and I love the black and white choice here!

[Spanner]

The black and white works really well. I think that the fact it is not a complete circle adds to this. It makes it different.

[☠northy]

@sailingmusic nope... not a huge fan of rides... and this one moves backwards and had the kids screaming ;p

[Kerri]

Great b&w

[Issi Bannerman]

Great shot!

[Alexander]

I have never seen one in B&W before. I have a feeling I will be now, thanks to your inspiration! I don't mind that it hasn't gone a full circle, it adds some difference to it. FAV.

Wonderful capture! I think the B&W is a very cool choice.

[Karen H]

Interesting in B&W. I don't know, I kinda get the feel of a hub cap this way.

[Andrew S]

Maybe not full circle, but very impressive nevertheless. Works really well in b&w, without the distraction of colour :)

[Raye]

Fabulous b&w! Way cool image!

[Jani M]

very nice comp. I don't miss the color, because there's so much defined detail and good contrast in this shot... kind of makes it very easy for me to picture the colors in my head.
