Ferris Coke at Night
by Helen Betts

Okinawa, Japan

Well, thanks to several suggestions on the daylight Ferris Coke picture, I finally managed to get to Mihama at night and set up my tripod. It turned out to be a bit harder than I thought, since both the Coke sign and the spokes of the wheel were constantly changing color and design (not to mention moving!). I liked this one the best, although I ended up with a whole MS full of variations (pink spokes, green spokes, black bottle, black writing, no red background etc.). You can see some of the variations in the animated version that appears in the Exhibition gallery.

You did a night one! Good deal! I love the two together to get a real feel for the day vs night idea. They are both great shots. Ann C
