Abstract Ferris Wheel Series
Lens: 16-50mm Camera: K-5 Photo Location: Local Carnival in MO ISO: 100 Shutter Speed: 2s Aperture: F22

Attended a local small town carnival and started playing with the lens to see what I would get since the exposure was so long. Kinda of liked the results. The led lights really provided for some great shots of the various rides.
Will post another series of the rides and lights....

Very cool! We see so many ferris wheel long exposures, all beautiful, but I like how unique these turned out. Especially the third one! Looks like you had fun playing around.

i have to agree, great to see a bit of experimenting and the results are very good. Hard to get a decent longer exposure during what appears to be in the day, did you use a filter of some type. I enjoyed this different perspective,, thanks for sharing. Bob

No filter...just playing with the focal length as soon as I pushed the shutter. Actually these were taken at around 8:30 to 9:00pm...not totally dark but it wasn't the middle of the day either.
It was a bit of a challenge playing with the lens and waiting for the ferris wheel to move needless to say got more nothing shots than good ones but these were a few that I liked.
