Wild Ride

MN State Fair, St Paul, MN

I took this shot of a whirling, spinning ride at 1/50 sec to get a blur. The pods for the riders rotate and tilt at the same time the arms on which they are mounted spin rapidly.
That plus the flashing lights and bright background make for in interesting pic. Post processing was minimal: sharpened, increase of vibrance, and clarity.
BTW, there is no way that I could or would climb on this ride.
