…and the Clock Struck KAZAM! #2

Carnival rides light up the Puyallup Fair at night

Carnival rides light up the Puyallup Fair at night

I have my night exposures of carnival rides pretty well set, but this particular ride was running without  the spotlights for most of the duration of the ride. It looked darker than usual, so I bumped the exposure. Taken with twin Hasselblad 500Cs, 50 mm lenses. Exposure could have been 16 seconds at f22.

The top part of the ride is swinging down, and looks to me like the pendulum on a clock. It intersects with Sinbad’s  extended sword in the painted  backdrop. It looks as though he’s hitting the pendulum with a loud KAZAM!

Taken last September at the Puyallup (pyoo AL ip) Fair, about 40 minutes south of Seattle. I had avoided the Fair for years, and finally went 2 years ago. Now I can’t get enough of it. Be warned — neither of my spuds has perfectly matched lenses. So any mounting errors are not my fault :^)
