This one was a month in the planning, and I still haven't edited them all, but I got a good portion of it done.
ferris wheels (1 of 1) by Luke Kowand, on Flickr
This was the main image we set out to create. I got a couple different poses that I have yet to look at, but this one struck me first. I wanted more movement out of the wheel, but any slower shutter and you really started to see the shake. I could have tripoded it, but I got frustrated getting it low enough for the perspective. Drove a lot of other patrons absolutely bonkers. Especially when they went to complain and security told them we had special permission to do this.

missed focus on this one, the pain and suffering of shooting with the 135mm f2.0 DC, if its not dead on your image will be soft
