i have a fixation on a certain monument here in chicago...that being Navy Pier's Ferris Wheel. i will be starting a thread specifically on Chicago, but thought that this subject deserved a thread of it's own.

please post any shots from carnival type atmospheres you have taken over the years. they simply are great photo oppurtunities.

this particular photo has no justice on a computer screen. printed it's simply vibrant. the reds pop right off the page. nonetheless hope you enjoy...

landscape mode: 1/10 sec. exposure, f/2.8, ISO - 200, focal range @ 7.8mm

shutter priority mode: 1/5th of a second, f/11, ISO - 160, focal range @ 7.8mm

Both are very nice shots, but I like the 2nd one best - something in the motion of it that comes out to me. Thanks for sharing.
