Great Yarmouth Easter travelling fair, March 2008. This little girl was waiting very patiently for the carousel to stop and looked very excited when she got her go!
Girls spinning on a whirling carnival ride during a mid summer’s night; from a series: Sunset on the Small Town Carnival. Owing to the rise of mega-parks and high liability insurance, small town carnivals are rapidly disappearing. Whenever possible I try to document these vanishing icons of the Twentieth Century American landscape. The original image was shot at 1/15th with a camera flash and 2 remote strobes. The long exposure shows motion and the flash freezes detail. I used opposing color filters on the remotes to get better depth in the subject. In post processing I used a combination of effects from both Illustrator and PhotoShop. The big trick was getting the file size down by rasterizing my AIs in PS and reopening them in AI and re-saving as a vector.
This reminds me of those old horror movies where a haunted carnival comes alive at night.

History of the Ferris Wheel / The Ferris wheel is named after George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr., graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, bridge-builder. He began his career in the railroad industry and then pursued an interest in bridge building. Ferris understood the growing need for structural steel and founded G.W.G. Ferris & Co. in Pittsburgh, a firm that tested and inspected metals for railroads and bridge builders. Ferris designed and built the Chicago Wheel for the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. The wheel was intended as a rival to the Eiffel Tower, the centerpiece of the 1889 Paris Exposition. It was the largest attraction at the Columbian Exposition, with a height of 80 metres (260 ft), and was powered by two steam engines. There were 36 cars, accommodating 60 people each (40 seated, 20 standing), giving a total capacity of 2,160. It took 20 minutes for the wheel to make two revolutions, the first to make six stops to allow passengers to exit and enter; the 2nd, a single non-stop revolution, and for that, the ticket holder paid 50 cents. When the Exposition ended, the wheel was moved to north side, next to an exclusive neighborhood. William D. Boyce filed an unsuccessful Circuit Court action against the owners of the wheel, to have it moved. It was then used at the St. Louis 1904 World’s Fair and eventually destroyed by controlled demolition in 1906. At 70 tons, its axle was the largest steel forging of the time. It was 26 stories tall, only a quarter of the Eiffel Tower’s height. / Source Wikipedia / Featured in Rural Around The Globe, The Scavenger Hunt
Featured by Windmills & Ferris Wheels 12 September 2009 BEST VIEWED LARGER Opening Day of the Los Angeles County Fair. Admission was only one dollar (regular price 17 dollars!) and the crowds turned out in droves, as expected. This was taken in the late afternoon looking down the main thoroughfare. They call it Broadway. The haze in the sky in the distance is from the wildfires burning about 50 miles to the west. The haze in the right-side foreground is from some barbecued delicacy sending its tempting aromas throughout the area.

I am happy to say that this shot was entirely influenced by another RedBubbler who’s name has escaped me. He took this shot and I loved it and when I the situation presented itself for me to attempt a similar piece, I grabbed it. I hope the fellow RedBubbler doesn’t mind and I do give them credit for what I think is a great idea!
