I couldn?t take a tripod with me. When I got there earlier, it was too crowded, and in any case I couldn?t have carried it around anyway. I am in very poor health now. I had a stroke in 2013 that left me with the right side of my body weakened, and I tire quickly. I don?t do any work with a tripod that requires a long walk from my car anymore; I just can?t do it. I was able to get good motion shots of other rides because they moved so fast that even at hand-holdable speeds (1/15, 1/10 of second) they still gave magnificent streaks of colored lights. This ferris wheel moved VERY slow, so that the motion shots I tried to do with it looked unsharp without looking like motion. It was ugly. With a tripod and a long exposure, it might have worked. A couple weeks earlier at the Three Rivers Festival in Fort Wayne, I did get some nice motion pics of the Ferris Wheel, as that one moved faster than the one at the Elkhart Fair. As in Elkhart, I did the photos at the TRF handheld because I couldn?t carry a tripod a long distance. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 8/4/16, 12:29 AM, "LUG on behalf of Ted Grant" <lug-bounces+chris=chriscrawfordphoto.com at leica-users.org on behalf of tedgrant at shaw.ca> wrote: >Hi Chris, >May I suggest a possibility?
