The park is no worse nor better than other such facilities (think of a Disney World copy on a smaller scale and with a distinct EU twist), but the children had fun and that is the main thing. Whenever I go to such places I always photograph my children on the rides. This week's photo is of some complete strangers, though. We were on a pirate boat which swung 180 degrees, like a giant swing on steroids. I was attracted by the family facing me and squeezed off some shots, the best of which is: http://www.wajsman.com/43.jpg This is Leica photography as practiced by the street photographers taken to the extreme. Since I was being equally buffeted, there is some shake even with a relatively high shutter speed (1/250 or 1/500, I think), and there was not much time for accurate focusing or metering. Just shoot and hope for the best. Taken with the 35mm Summilux on Kodachrome 64. The complate PAW index is at: http://www.wajsman.com/indexpaw.htm and comments are welcomed and appreciated as always.
