Fairground

danpen · 15-11-2006, 16:29

We went to the same fairground as namllihs and here's a couple of shots that I got. I find it really hard to get the right amount of blur to make it look like exciting movement and not just useless photographer but shots taken with extremely fast shutters don't really get across the vibrancy of the event.

There's a a few more on a similar subject on my site but these are the ones I was happiest with, happy to get some feedback, feel free to pimp if you can do better.

Space Roller

Hanging Around

Dodgems

I like the dodgem shot Dan. The fair doesn't seem to be designed with photographers in mind

Im really liking the 1st shot, it's just a shame that the heads are in the bottom of the shot

I like the dodgem shot, could perhaps be lightened a bit but captures the excitement of it... probably more than actually being on the ride itself LOL.

Cheers,
Rob

I like picture number one because it looks like the person in the front is ducking to avoid the zooming Space Roller thing! Good shot.

Thanks for the comments guys. I was quite pleased with the way the dodgems shot came out, I was trying to pan to get the subject reasonably in focus.

Yep, dodgem shot for me too! That has worked so well!
