(Day 330) Wheel phun

Phriday Nov. 26, 2010

On our way home tonight we saw that rides for a fair were being set up. I hadn't taken my camera bag with me (I know, ABC - 30 lashes for me) but my excuse is that I had planned to go out after we got home to make some night photos. Instead, I went home, got the camera, and headed back out here to make a few shots. Since it was Phun Phriday I took some liberties with one shot and used free software I found on the internet that allowed me to play with the colours. I liked this result better than the original. I think people will have wheel phun on this ride once it opens.

What a cool photo Rick, I love the effect but would hesitate to go on the ride, well unless I seen some potential photos.

And yes 30 lashes, you're the one who taught me the ABC's of photography. :-)

Hope you have a fantastic weekend!
