My son and I happened on this carnival in a mall parking lot on the west side of Fort Worth, Texas, last Saturday night. That big thing in the middle was called, "The Scorpion." Tell me whatcha think....

ISO 100, f/16, 2 seconds
The rest of the gallery is here.

    I like it! The looping motion is really cool. I don't think the people in the foreground add any interest here, but sometimes you get what you get.

    Howdy James,

    Great shots, loved seeing the Carnival rides, very nicely captured.

    Don't see many shooters from "Cowtown" on here, glad you made it.

    Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
    Take care,

    Craig

    Craig, I see that you list Burleson as your stomping grounds. I'm in Aledo. I've shot a few middle school and high school athletic events down your way - mostly Aledo vs. whoever. Nice to hear from you.<img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/clap.gif&quot; border="0" alt="" >

    Thanks for the kind words Skippy! I'm not riding them either. My days of riding are over. I'll just stick to shooting. thumb.gif

    You're absolutely right. You get what you get! There were lots of people moving back and forth in front of my shooting position so this shot ended up being one of the cleanest of the group. Thanks for looking and thanks for taking time to comment.... All of you!
