Description Carnival lights electrify me. They ignite my senses and entrance me with their dance of flashing colours.

I have never been to a Carnival
I feel so deprived

I like how you got the lights on this shot, I'd have just made it too blurry or over-EV'd.

Amazing! The effect of a, usually moving object, captured frozen-still is breath taking. Favourited!

Great how you've captured the motion. Looks like if it was still turning !
I like the contrast of those lights against the black background

This was my favorite ride @ the P.N.E. in Vancouver as a child! Nice shot...that's pretty much how I remember it ~ when I was being swung ~ only I was bad and used to twist my chains for added spin! Nice composition and great shot of the lights in motion!

You can feel the rush of the air and that particular smell of a carnival at night. Very evocative.

I love carnival lights as well! The newest thing I've tried is making multiple exposures of the same ride and animating it! Really conveys that sense of dizzyness!

I really like the composition of this shot! My eyes are drawn up the lights on the collumn and then kind of explode out to the top and side while trying to follow the lights underneath the canopy! (My eyes sometimes work in reverse! I think most people would start at the top and be drawn to the collumn and down! ) You're exposure is worth a as well because you let your shutter drag just enough to convey a sense of motion. If the exposure had been any longer, it would have rendered the shot a blurry mess, but any less of an exposure time would have rendered the shot boring due to lack of action! Very nicely excecuted, my friend!

If you get a chance, I have a couple of carnival pics on my main page you might like as well (my most recent deviation, and my featured deviation). I know you're really busy, but if you get a chance, drop by!

This is my favorite of the carnival pictures. I love the way you got the small piece of stationary anchoring at the bottom and the rest is moving and bluring, it's great!

* in a mock serious tone*
...the apature on my XTH-3000 Speed Focus LP23.SL713(carry the 9) LensMaster Series II would've been able to dramatize the full essence of the resolution i'm sure you were trying to visualize in the depth of this composition.
clearly you've fallen short in conceptualizing the intended objectivity of the subject you were shooting and should've
utilized a boom crane lift as well as maybe set up the lighting rig from the last maddonna tour....you call yourself a
photographer???

*back to me*
umm...looks groovy moon-b.
i like the colours...and stuff!
nice shot!
