This is another Bob V. inspiration!

Another time-exposed shot at Morey’s Pier at Wildwood, NJ, (using Bob’s suggested 4 sec. at f16, asa 100 method – saves a lot of guesswork!). This is the “Condor” ride, which looks  (and sounds) very strange – even without the added psychedelic exposure. I shot a series of them, but because the  spins and elevations constantly shift, it’s hard to predict the outcome. This was the best one, by far, and it won 1st place at my first visit to the Potomac DC Stereo Society monthly competiton. They joked it must be the first time a shot made by a Sputnik ever won anything!

I enjoy showing this to people and have them guess what they’re looking at. I’ve heard some strange answers (“guitar,” “bell striker”). The distance of the subject certainly cuts down on the parallax, but there is still a little bit of  depth left.  A wider pair of synced Hassies would have been the ticket here… (Right, Bob?) 🙂
