Hi Silke,
Nice shot of the ferris wheel, have you been out with David (Whiteknight) LOL, the colours and sharpness are good here and I like the angle of your POV, nice camera control with the 1600 ISO and as you say not a spot of noise, one little niggle, it would have been nice to have the signature on the same arc as the wheel, thats just me being picky though.
Well done
Regards Andy

You certainly caught the mood of the fairground from all of your images on this subject Silke.I really like this night shot, due to its clarity of detail, not an easy shot to take.
Perfect POV & I liked that your signature has the same curve as the rides.

This is amazing, Silke!
The details and the focus are fabulous for such difficult conditions without a tripod!
(I tried to take an illuminated church without a tripod and ended deleting them all!)
I like the curved signature!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Silke,
Great job on exposure ! There still are enough colors left, which give a great contrast on the black sky.
greetings,
Joop!

The wheel is nicely lit up Silke. Good shot for a night one. I imagine it wasn't easy to do. It's come out very colourful and sharp.

I find the signature in the top LH corner a bit irritating - I think the curve should be the same as the wheel or maybe not there at all, meaning an all black space would make it look better - IMO.

Hi Silke,

Very colorful shot. I, too, can't resist taking photos of ferris wheels.

I like the yellow against the black. I do think that I would prefer your signature amongst the bottom portion of your shot. It's creative, yet a bit obtrusive in my opinion (but that's just my taste).

I like the crowd that you have captured at the bottom too. Lisa

Lovely indeed, specially for a hand held shot!
Great details and light and the sharpness is really good too.
Don't think I can keep my hands that steady....

;-) cheers,

I think this is the first shot i have ever seen where a signature actually adds something to a shot! :-) I'm going to agree partly with Janice about the curve, but disagree about the irritiating bit, I quite like it. I think the top left of the screen would be a bit too empty otherwise.

Funny, I've just critiqued David's ferris wheel shot where the long exposure worked well, but I like this one also.
The angle of the shot is good and you can almost smell the popcorn :-)

Technically very well done considering the lightconditions !
Marked it as " useful " because want to try it myself.
" someday " :-(
The " but " : the wheel seems, to me, " falling " to the right.
