Description just to explain the whole thing:

this is kind of a merry-go-round on a childrensplayground, which consists of a simple plate which can be rotated around it's central axis. so i thought this might be a cool thing to have fun with light experiments. so i took my known bicycle torch and lay it onto the carousel. then i gave it a rotation and pushed the trigger of the cam. after about two turns i changed the torch's position a bit further away from the center and let it turn again for two cycles. and so on.

and that's the result!! enjoy!

i have no clue. maybe because it's blurry and the edge is sharp?

that's fucking nuts, I've seen those kind of merry go kill yourself they're mad...I swear how do you sit on them? if it's the kind I'm thinking of it's basically a flat rotating disk of death for children, and it's tilted so you always fall off anyways and smack your face on the edge? lol great shot, nicely done

Greetings earthlings! we come in peace!! (I wonder what would it look like if somebody was stepping in and out of the frame on the sides of the photo... just to catch some bits of light from the spinning light source .... hmmm )

That's pretty trippin dude. Very inventive. Shame about the background though...somehow it doesn't fit the 'smooth industrial' feel of the picture. That's just me. Good work.

raumzeit In reply to aap [2004-02-24 08:32:57 +0000 UTC]

i think the background makes it a bit more interesting, otherwise it would be quite boring just - the wheel. and the swing adds a bit of humor and playfulness. that represents the way it was created

because of the changing light source, the merry go round thingy looks like it has no specific depth of field or defined distance
