twisted

I photographed this 'twist-ride' at the Houston Rodeo fair

grounds,...I took multiple 'tripod-shots' while the ride was in

motion and in post production merged them in 'screen-layer-

mode',....I was surprised at the results,....hope you'll enjoy it !

Damn you and your fish-eye lens :) Colorful and creative as always. Congrats! One minor quibble/question - the one blue spin at the top seems out of place - a set of lights not visible from the other angles?

GREAT!!! This shot is usually much more cliche...first of all, it's usually just a ferris wheel, and lacks any people in the photograph...You've clearly one upped the image and added the human element...good job

Amazing as usual, your use of the fisheye is unique.

hi Derek,...when the 'people-carriage' got to the top the lights changed colors and the velocity of the spin increased.

Clever and original! Like the composition and colors. Congrats!

very good game of light and colour!!!!

The blue orb at the top makes this stand out more than the average shot would, and the inclusion of a figure without blur works very well. The lampost lights in the background throw the symmetry off just a tad but who's complaining? Brilliant stuff!

I like it - colorful and different.

Almost every time I teach/sub for a photo class I get someone who photographs a carnival or something and I thought I had seen it all. This is fantastic . . . but . . . eventually the center weighted picture takes so much away. I keep thinking of my drawing prof who used to bitch and moan about kids who had mad drawing skills and could render their sketches forever but always put the subject smack in the middle of the paper.

 

As I said, I think this photograph is great, but I want it to be great for more than just sex appeal! If you were in class with me I'd make you shoot 20 rolls of stuff like this 'cause it's worth it.

4-fisheye, nice work again. One has to tried to shoot something like this to understand that the overall twist motion will always exist, unless you layer them in post capture like you did.

The more I look at this, the more I like it!

This is the best night shot I've seen for a while. Perfect exposure and the coloures are stunning. Do you give any hints about the exposure time? Cheers, Uwe.

This is an excellent example of pure symmetry that works. If the operater wasn't standing dead center, another angle might have been considered, like the other upload, but he seals the deal.

spare set of wings!

well done again and you are establishing yourself as a top notch photographer. Good imagination and great skills at work here....

hi Uwe,...the exposure time for the 8 shots that made this composite was between 1 or 2 sec. each,...thanks for viewing.

Great Carney Shot! Right down to the operator, too bad you don't see his tattoo's.

Great. Love the symmetry and the 'heart' or 'angel wing' shape of main set of lights. Was this multi exposures? If so, timing must have been tricky to maintain the symmetry.

I love your four eye series. This is the most interesting of the group.

Very suggestive of a model of the "Time Machine" that I recall seeing in a movie adaptation of the novel by H.G. Wells.

Awesome image! Obviously I am chiming in a little late. I used to view many images here and I would watch your particular portfolio on a regular basis. I see I should take more of an interest in this part of photo.net again.

 

 

This is a 7/7. The only major distraction to me is that the blue one at the top is not vertical. Not sure what could have been done about this if anything. I do not mind centred images at all and they work particularly well with square framing. However, this one is slightly off centre, which also becomes a distraction.

 

 

All in all, though, another brilliant image!

Great and original image, thanx for sharing!
