Now this seemed a bit more tame..... a couple of cocktails, and I might have ventured onto this ride!!!

Cool News !!! I've been invited to join a site by StuckinCustoms, my hdr guru, where the best of the best post their hdr work!!! Check out this site.....I think I've got 3 shots out there already, if you scoll thru!!

I'm no big fan of carnival rides either, but they are good to photograph.

Very nice, even at 1/40 it shows the movement of the chairs.

You captured the light so well, Susan, and the bold colors are gorgeous.

Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United States

This is my favorite from this series (so far). Really nicely seen. I love the silhouette of person and palm against that sky and below the lights. A celebration of rich color!

@Stephen Phillips: Thanks much Stephen......i wish i'd gotten more "people" that were visible, but that sunset really helped out a lot....glad i decided to go back, before it was dark, dark out !!

John from Geneva, United States

Absolutely gorgeous, Susan.
I love the colors of the sunset correlating with the lights on the ride, the motion of the chairs without the ride lights being blurred, the palm silhouettes, the rich blue sky, all fantastic.
A very nice catch indeed.
