Passing the Carousel
by Laura Milholland

San Francisco Zoo, CA

Seen "in passing" as it twirled around bringing many smiles.
Would definitely NOT have been "in passing" if my granddaughter had been with us! ;)

I purposely chose to not "freeze" the passing by of the carousel, to show a touch of motion.
Would have made a more interesting shot to use a tripod and slow the shutter even more - not an option though at the time.


other sizes: small medium original auto

A wonderful find. Great composition and joyful scene.

No, no HDR. But I did use some "shadows/highlights" editing to bring out the darker part inside the carousel a bit, which gives a similar result.

One of my personal favorite rides at the zoo: both as a kid and still today.
Nice composition and colors. Did you use a lot of noise reduction or something in your post processing??? This almost looks like HDR.

I do love a carousel....and I like that you caught the young girl's smile.

The only ride I've ever enjoyed. Makes me smile.

Nice photo! I enjoyed this kind of thing when I was a kid.
