thanks for having a look Geoff.

I've spun her, and photographed her, on this particular merry-go- 
round many times.
But this was the first time I climbed on with her and saw the ground  
moving.

it was one of those moments
where I didn't think about photography at all
until I climbed on and got us moving
feeling what she felt and seeing the background in motion.
Can I handle the camera settings, focus and still hang on with my legs?
Then a quick thought about shutter speed:
fast enough to stop her movement
slow enough to blur the background
1/30 with a 28? sure why not?
a guess @ f:11.5, focus, shoot 3 in quick succession
then grab the bar again, wondering if I got anything
all over in a matter of few seconds.

Regards,
George Lottermoser
