(not so) Wordless Wednesday...
Have you ever had one of those days were everything is a blur? These past few days have been for me. But then, it  seems that when one has a week to do nothing but goof off; time seems to move in an accelerated pace. Who knows. Could be that one is hell bent on packing 30 hours of activities in a 24 hour day. Then too, maybe the time gods trick us. You know, they speed time up; giving us 20 hours and saying, "Dude, I just gave you 24." What ever the case, time moves way to quickly when you are having fun.

As promised, I did pack my camera. This shot was planned. Kinda goes to show you what one can do when you know what you want to do, and shoot in the dark (of a fast moving amusement park ride). I'm into weird effects and this was certainly one...

This was shot at a camera setting ISO 3200/f3.5 - 1/8 sec. The room was totally dark except for the black lights and the reflective paint...

Hi Michael,

I though you were supposed to be on vacation. LOL. You are "addicted" to the Rain. And I just love it.

Keep up the good work.

Michael,
that there sure is a mighty job you did with the effect with your photo. You sure are right about, that time sure does move a lot faster when one is having fun.

Have a good one

I do not have a high end Digital Camera yet.  I have a lot of old High End Film cameras and I used to use all the tricks.  I imagine some of them are now obsolete.

Awe, that is just way too cool Michael!  My camera doesn't even have a ISO of 3,200!  I used the 1,600 to capture those fun fire photo's I did.  I can't believe you took that camera on an amusement ride!  Cool points 10!

... so this is what you can see, without the aid of drugs (legal or not), if you know how to use a camera, eh!

Great effect Michael, hope you are enjoying your "downtime" ;-)

Hi Michael, This is just wonderful. I love the colors and would love to try and capture something like this effect. Our county fair is going on, maybe there, :-)
