This is one boy's delight at riding the carnival ride 'The Scrambler' at a

fair or other such setting. If you enlarge and look into his mouth, you

can see clearly through the back of his throat and even see his 'uvula'

hanging down (every human being has one, it hangs from the top of the

back of the mouth). Your ratings and critiques are invited and most

welcome. If you rate harshly or very critically, please submit a helpful

and constructive comment; please share your superior photographic

knowledge to help improve my photography. Thanks! Enjoy! John

I stood there for a very long time, with these Scrambler seats aiming for me, photographing each one that I could until my buffer filled, then reviewed each one.

 

Did you notice you can see his tonsils?

 

I love this one for the fact that I had to do absolutely nothing with it; even though he was moving at me at 25-30 miles per hour -- 40 km/per hour or more.

 

I had pre-positioned myself in absolutely the best place, and swiveled to capture these riders in the best positions -- a very hard task, by the way,but once mastered, it can be taught or re-done with not so much work.

 

This was my first time at the carnival at this particular ride; I had been once before but not to photograph the rides -- only the Midway (the 'sideshows')

 

I purposely kept the boy 'small' and didn't crop to keep it within context, figuring his large, open mouth would eventually speak for itself.

 

;~))

 

I'm glad it did for you at least.

 

Thank you so much for your comment.
