It was freezing
Life is like a ferris wheel. You never know when you’ll have to get off, but while your on it, pray that you get to stop at the top.

The Space Needle is framed by a ferris wheel on a foggy November night.
Took this one last Saturday night after doing a percussion session down in Geelong for the new Sons of Korah album. Usually I stick to the natural landscape but this is purty nice all the same. For other shots in this genre check out my Urban Landscapes gallery.
Lengthy night exposure of the Ferris Wheel on the foreshore at Victor Harbor. Canon 400D 18-55 lens.
Taken in marvelous Melbourne. This shot was thirty seconds long and the sculpture in the foreground (Angel by Deborah Halpern) was in deep shadow, after I tripped the shutter I suddenly remembered that I had a torch in my bag so I quickely grabbed it and painted the sculptures legs with my torch beam to help balance the exposure. For other shots in this genre check out my Urban Landscapes gallery.
A young lady sitting on a promenade bench, watching the Liverpool lights, across the River Mersey from Secombe Ferry. / I had to use a tripod for this one. :)
Shot for 2 seconds at f/20 – 40mm – ISO 125. Nikon D80. Featured on October 2, 2008 in the group A Beautiful Blur
This is the first time I’ve tried a long exposure shot seriously. My last tries were for half a second during the day time. The silhouette was a man who walked into the shot less than a second before I pressed the shutter and then, miraculously, stayed absolutely still for the 4 seconds (when I say ‘long exposure’, it wasnt THAT long…but i still wanted the wheel to have visible spokes.) and then immediately after it had finished taking, disappeared into the crowds. Weird… The photo was taken in London, at the end of the London Boat Race. This image is used as the Experimental group logo for profiles. Oh, and Jonny watched.
The London Eye and The Houses of Parliament at night – London 2008. Canon 400D, f11, 30 secs, ISO 100, 20mm and cropped to 16:9 ratio. See more of my work at Dan Biggins Photography.
John and I decided to be one of the first people to photograph the brand new sexy toy the Perth Wheel as of operation 9th Jan 2009. Sort of copied, ok copied from the hugely successful London Eye, the Perth Wheel it stands 50m high, can carry 284 passengers in 36 capsules. For $15 adults $10 children, you get to spend roughly 15 minutes on the wheel, which will do approximately three revolutions. There is even a VIP capsule which boasts leather seats, best to get clients stuck with you high in the sky to approve your business proposal in comfy leather seats and a plasma screen display. Operators are also expecting it to become popular for marriage proposals and birthday celebrations…oh and those girlfriend boyfriend stuff. Who said Perth cannot look like London huh? ;) MORE WORKS FROM MY PORTFOLIO / - – / Shot settings: / Body: Canon EOS 350D / Lens: Sigma 10-20mm DC HSM EX / Shutter Speed: 35” / Focal Length: 13mm / Flash: Did not fire / ISO: 100 / Aperture value: f/8 / Add-ons: 77mm - Hoya Pro-1 CPL + ND8 filter

Black is in darkness / where secrets will hide / a passionate grief / an immeasurable sigh / we forget, we forget / and it takes by surprise White is in light / where truth will be told / stumbling past younger days / until we’re too old / we remember, we remember / and it breaks at the soul A mystery deepens / where we’re fooled by the sight / of no light in pure dark / and no dark in pure light / yet they mix, yet they mix / come the falling of night —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- Location: Broughty Ferry, Tayside, Scotland © Donald Cameron 2009 / Monophotography.co.uk
Whilst in Melbourne this week I took a night stroll down towards the MCG from Federation Square off Flinders Street and photographed the Ferris Wheel that is often seen on RedBubble. A long exposure shot of the slowly turning wheel that is covered with ever changing lights revealed the patterns seen in this series of images. This shot incorporated the artistic structure that sits above the ferris wheel on a slight mound. Canon 400D – 17-85 lens.
