Not my kind of fun either Silke! Yikes! I would have to be hospitalized after this one! LOVE your blue skies in this series! Excellent sharpness, that thing just makes me ill, looking at it! Nice work!

Hi Silke,
No thanks , don't invite me for a ride . Beautifull colors and contrast with the sky as a background . You are right, I also can see a kind of claww . Question......Are they all alive ?

Just last week we had our anual "kermis" in Hoorn and this same monster was there too.
My collegue talked me into taking a ride with him... so.. finally I handed my camera over to Rob and he tried some shots while I was in that HORRIBLE machine (in the dark! and so darn close to the old church that I feard for my feet!)
Got out alive, fortunately and my feet were ok....

Lovely colors and sharpness Silke and you were very lucky to have such a wonderful clear sky.
That really completes the fairground feeling!
Nice framing too.

Cheers,
Anneke

It does look like a giant drill for a mining company,a very strong image Silke,this smaller size does not let us see the thrill that the people are getting from it,would it be possible to put a view of their reaction to the ride into your workshop?

Nice action, Silke, and beautiful colours all around. Freaky font too, by the way. Good details, a pity we lose so much when downsizing for tl...

Bonsoir Silke,
I can't imagine me on a deadly machine like this, fatal for me and what my body contains lolll, this isn't a fun but a real torture.
I like the angle formed by the arm of this attraction and that you have chosen to show us. All his legs which seem to escape. And the colors are those of fair skies with bright blue intensity.
The frame is well but also for me, I like less the choice of putting such a big Gotcha ;O| draws too much attention but this is my personal choice
TFS, heartily

No WAY!! You'll NEVER get me one of these machines. I feel sick just looking at it. I agree, - this is NOT my kind of fun!
I prefer the wheel in the BG
All those tiny lights on the arms make me think this is over-sharpened - but it's just the shadows I think.
Super blue sky -haven't seen a good one like that for a long time down under.

Hi Silke

The Fire Ball ride looks like an arm with a claw, so very aptly titled. Marvellous saturated colour, with superb sharpness & text placement. Well done!

It does look that way Silke, I was even looking for an object within the 'claw'. Good colour and an excellent POV to capture the ride,

i been in this fire ball (Air Force 1 it was called here) once, Silke.. i was so excited when the funfare came to town 2 years ago from london and i was the one who cannot wait to ride this.. when it started moving i said ok fine but when i was up there i was so terrified.. i closed my eyes the whole time couldn't even scream after looking down from my corner sit. i thought i was going to die or fall.. i prayed it will over soon. after the ride ended i saw some of the peoples throw up lucky i was not but very dizzy.. im not going to ride that anymore ever in my life.. hehe..

beautiful capture, colours and sharpness.. oh the frame is lovely too.. tfs..

regards, terry
