Blurry Red Swing (the best title Landon could come up with)



Photo by Landon Cross
I took this picture at the fair at night; it was the last ride on the swings. It was really hard to get this picture because I didn’t have a tripod so I had to hold the camera really still. I thought it was a good picture because of how I caught that one person.

I really like this photo even though it shows motion it looks like it is not moving at the same time. And at the same time you are still able to see the riders.

wow this picture is awsome. I love how the fairs wheel looks red. I think it would of been a little better if you could see the swings more but it still tured out great. i miss the fair!

This picture is sick. I really like the blurry swings. I like what you did with the shutter speed. But I guess you could’ve had it in a better spot. ~Michael Pederson

I like this photo because even though the ride is blurred it is still kind of in focus. And there is still a shadow of the ride in the background. How cool is that?

I'm back, Meyerhoff. Yes, you still have to deal with me even though I am no longer a student at ER. Haha!

First off, I would like to say that the color of the swing is awesome. You did a great job capturing the moment at night. But I have to say that it's not very well cropped, and more contrast between the black and red would've been better. Also, maybe if the shutter speed was a tad shorter, you could have a stronger light trailing behind the ride and the people on it. Still, nice work.

I like the color of the Swings but I think it would have been better if you could see the people riding it.

This picture is amazing. The lighting is fantastic, but the only plus would be if you had cropped out the white light at the bottom. But overall AMAZING picture.
