Shalom Photo By. Neka Rae

These photos were taken on a merry-go-round in Salem OR. This is how I got this effect: I placed myself and my tripod with my cam on it of course, in the middle of the merry-go-round, my settings were; shutter open, high f-stop mine was f/25, exposure was -5, ISO 320, made sure my model sat still while my boys pushed us and snapped away.

It was a lot of fun playing with my f-stop and sitting there with my daughter. But it also reminded me that I am no longer a child, maybe at heart, while spinning around and taking some photos, aligning them the best that I can while spinning, I got so sick to my stomach.  And everyone thought it was quite funny, well it was, when I got off I wondered how in the world do they handle all that spinning over and over again. I remember how I loved it and now I can barely stand it, oh to be a kid again, and enjoy life’s simple things!
