Cyclone Screams

Screams of joy echo in the breeze from the famous Coney Island

Cyclone. Taken as a heavy fog rolled in, I was forced to increase my

ISO to 800 in order to get enough shutter speed. This resulted in a

little more noise than I would have preferred, but the expressions on

the faces of the people are priceless.

Good one. I like the various facial expressions, especially the two in the rear. The girl in light blue seems in shock! I'm curious as to where you took this from?

Hi Ken. There is great a spot on the side street next to the Cyclone where you can manage to shoot over the fencing in three different directions if you have a long lens. I pre-focused the camera to a spot on the tracks and fired away in burst mode at just the right moment.

 

BTW, you are right about the women in the back, she sat through the entire ride without moving a muscle -- I photographed her in three different locations!

I may just try that with a 400 Michael. Thanks

Actually Ken, I didn't even use more than half of the zoom power on my 300mm (digital, equiv to 480mm in film). If you zoom to close in, it's impossible to get anything in focus.
