    What an awesome picture! How did you take it?

  • Gary Reaves replied

    Thanks! This was taken on a merry-go-round at a local park. My camera was set up on a tri-pod on one side of the “mgr” and my wife was on the other side.
    It was a very dark & cloudy day which allowed me to do something like a 3-5 second exposure. I can’t remember the exact settings, but it was a very high Fstop. I just experimented until i got something i liked.

    The great thing is i barely had to spin the “mgr” but Jennifer had to hold her pose extremely still. I need to keep working on this shot and figure out how to do it better. I know there is a formula that would allow for a better focus. . . if you try this, and find a great formula PLEASE send it along :o)

    Thanks again, God bless!

    PS i would love to do this shot one day with a good wide angle and get the whole merry-go-round.
