I enjoy doing things differently, especially when it comes to my camera and lens. Last week a small carnival occupied some of the Sunrise Mall parking lot in Citrus Heights. Perfect! I had to go and two photo buddies met me there.

When I say small, I mean not too many rides that are great for slow shutter speed photography. That coupled with my injuries from the August auto accident (They tell me it will be a long time recovery for my neck and shoulders.), helped me decide to leave my tripod in the car. You’ll see that in some cases I needed it.

Here are the pictures–handheld.

Ferris wheel, no movement.
Starting to move.
Full movement.
Zooming in on sign.
Ferris Wheel at an angle.
Ferris wheel with intentional camera movement.
More ICM.
And more ICM.
Yes, I had fun with the ferris wheel!
Again!
A try at another ride.
Zooming that same ride.
Sideways ICM. I can’t remember the ride!
More zooming fun.
Back to ICM

Some of these may not be perfect, but I had an hour’s worth of fun. Next year the tripod!

  3. Nice. I’m thinking I need a new light-weight tripod because I frequently don’t carry mine because it is heavy but should always use it as I am loosing strength in my arms.

    1. I like the Manfrotto BeFree tripod because it’s light and easy to carry. It can hold 7 lbs of weight so it’s not for everyone. It’s great for the type of photography I do.
