Day 92 - Rita! by snaggy

Day 92 - Rita!

I lurvvve Roller Coasters, and this one's quite quick. It's Rita the Speed Queen at Alton Towers and the only place us mere mortals can experience acceleration like you can on Rita is on Stealth at Thorpe Park which is a bit quicker ( @ch1ppy_m1nton 's probably gonna tell me his motorbikes are/were quicker, so I'll wait and see!).

Anyway, thought I'd try and blur the car, so stopped the aperture right down, ISO 100, and this is what I got.
Whoosh - great blur!!

Now I know for sure why I don't ride roller coasters. Great blur and love the colors.

@snaggy got to admit, Rita, Stealth and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith at Disney Paris are my favourites too - the acceleration is phenomenal and always induces a few muttered swear words at launch, followed by some manly screams :-)

Great picture, the motion blur is wonderful, real sense of speed.

Oh, and motorbikes are quick for sure, but don't give that same rush ... .well they can usually just before you flip it :-O

Great Kev, definitely my favourite of your roller coaster shots. The blur gives a great sense of speed and the crop is nice. Reminds me of their adverts. Could see this on a billboard somwhere. I'm a bit disappointed there's nothing of newesis though, when they fly past the walkway always used to be scared my lanky legs would get chopped off! That'd test the fps and focus on the 7d
