So anyway, Victor and I arrived at the same pretty much as the rides were shutting down and everything was closing down. But that's okay! The zipper and paratrooper/octopus thing was still running, so I focused on those two.
When shooting rides with a bunch of movement and lights, I wanted to drag the shutter a bit to capture that motion. I started with the paratrooper because it spun around in a circle, which is a very cool geometric pattern when you get light trails. I put the center of the ride right behind another light ball in the foreground, so that there would be a sharp foreground with the light spinning around it...it makes more sense in the photo.
Great circle of lights around the light ball. I would have liked to frame it a little differently, but just after I took this the ride shut down. :(
So then I moved to the Zipper!
Same settings: ISO100, f5.6, and 2 seconds.
clarity up, vibrance up, blacks down, shadows up.
I just got the big neon sign and timed the light from the ride so that it made a big trail right behind the sign. Turned out pretty well!
All in all, pretty good results for such quick set up.
And a bonus picture of Ben and his glasses because funny.
See you tomorrow!
