If you get it right you can get some spectacular lighting on a single image. Ferris Wheel at Birrarung Marr 30 second exposure at f/22 using a ND 8 filter. Click for larger on black image (better)

Very nice colours Nigel. I don't mind not seeing the whole wheel, makes it for something different.

cheers,

André

The rainbow effect on the wheel is captivating.

Other than the Wheel structure and a fence there isn't really much to see below that point. But I do see what you mean.

Thanks for the comments guys. As a reward... I give you more.

This is basically a study of light over a two hour period. I froze my arse off getting these and the camera was starting to fog up from the cold.



1.5 Second exposure at f/22 ISO 100 (5:30pm)

Indeed magical, I wonder what does those strikes of lights and the wheel seems not moving from those cages...

Ah thats one of the reasons I like that first image. The Ferris wheel is comming to a stop. There was enough movement to give the light some movement and it was stopped long enough for the carages to stay sharp and still.

Great shot Nigell, it is not easy to get a good shot of the FWs, but you have achieved it here.
