Peter Hulbert day at the fair

18th June 2015

I thought that today I would share some moments with you all to which inspired me to take a few more pictures of some degree of unusuality, (not that there is such a word) but I'm sure you can stretch the imagination into something that works.

The first picture was taken by Peter Hulbert whilst he was out with his beloved daughter at the local visiting fairground and whilst it provides all the impression of going at a zillion miles per hour, it is in fact a little bit of trickery in regards to shutter speed on a camera which will result in quite spectacular results. If you are a keen photographer and have a SLR camera, all you need to do is adjust the shutter sped to a slow setting. I would urge you all to try this as the effect is something quite special.


Below is another example of the same affect but with the shutter speed slightly reduced and opened and closed for a lesser period of time. It creates a slightly different perspective of the same ride at the fair but as the shutter was only open for a brief moment, the end result looks quite different. Once again, this picture was taken by Peter Hulbert at the same fair.


Peter Hulbert took this picture of a big wheel ride at the fair whilst taking advantage of the half light offered while the close of day was upon us and the sun was on it's way down. Peter created a mist filter over the lens which creates the illusion of a mist or slight fog. This type of affect is often used on romantic pictures for weddings or such like but in this instance was developed to create a unique look of the big wheel.
