The Whirling Carousel

A Carousel or Merry-Go-Round
There was a nice, old-style carousel plonked right in the middle of Festival City the other day. Luckily I'd brought along a camera, and the little Kodak performed admirably (it really is a boon to have some manual controls on these compacts). Myself, less so, for I took a lot of photos, but only one -- this one -- was any good.

This is a two second exposure on shutter priority, hand-held with my dad's shoulder acting as tripod.

Our parents' shoulders are useful for so many things.

Thank you, Akshata! I've been trying to take more photographs of late, and put them up here. I used to be quite active in posting them earlier: here's a link to the Photographs category if you would like to browse through them.
