Gotcha! (40)

I watched the Fire Ball ride for a while and took a series of photos looking for the best angle on the action and the best timing for the swing. When I opened this one up, it struck me that it looked like a giant claw - hence the title.
If you look closely at the "claw," you will see the people in the seats. An enlargement of original shows hair flying and mouths open in perpetual screams -- this is NOT my kind of fun!
Two workshop photos show slightly closer views of the kids.
But I hope you like the capture per se. It is not on my list of things to reshoot next week.
I am taking the wife of a friend with me when I return to the CNE (Canadian National Exhibition, also known as "The Ex") next week. We have set up two dates in case the weather betrays us on the first one, and we are planning to stay until after dark for a different point of view on the whole.
And then I am going to try to persuade her (with her lovely new Nikon D40) to join TrekLens and show off what she can do.

I cannot remember whether they were going up or down in this one

The down swing is hard and fast - you can see their legs flying up
