    wow, this is truly captivating!
    the rotations are spot on just like a ferris wheel!
    love it all, the sharpness, the blur/movement!
    great work. ;-)

    Thank you all, not sure if anyone noticed but sitting above the main connecting shaft at the top is a black silhouette, looks almost like a small figure with wings, still can’t work that out as there was nothing above the main shaft there….interesting!!!!!

    this is amazing! I could stare at this for a long time, and without the cues of the trees, wouldn’t even have a clue as to size… well done.

    Hans Kawitzki, 6 months ago

    what an amazing image it must have been a mighty long exposure

  • Steve Chapple

    Steve Chapple in reply to Hans Kawitzki’s comment, 6 months ago

    Hans, around 40 seconds, the Ferris Wheel is small and turns quite rapidly and the outer buckets have lighting which helps with the effect!

  • Megan Martin

    Megan Martin, 6 months ago

    WOW! This is amazing…it looks like its going incredibly fast!

    Michael Rowley..., 6 months ago

    fantastic work, truely a great image well done

  • Steve Chapple

    Steve Chapple in reply to Megan Martin’s comment, 6 months ago

    Thank you Megan, probably close to 40 second exposure once it started turning, it is only a small wheel so it was not that fast!

    “trippy” was the first word that sprang to mind, but that does not do justice to how clever this is. I love night shots and long exposures (more so because I have yet to get a handle on them!) This is a fantastic result.

    This is a fascinating image and really shows how the ordinary can become extraordinary. The depth the movement has created is surreal and intruiging. Wonderful shot.
