Week 6: Carousel + Long Exposure


I found myself at the Smithsonian carousel and really wanted to try the long exposure + circular motion technique we had discussed in class a while ago. Unfortunately, it was VERY bright, and any time i slowed down the shutter speed to capture the blur, my photo became over-exposed. I tried to make due with what my camera could do, but I had difficulty. I had my aperture pushed all the way to the end of its scale, and that still was not enough to undo the over-exposure being caused by the long shutter speed. Does anyone have a solution for this, other than just shooting when it's darker out? I think I'm going to go back during the evening/night time eventually to try this again.

Side note: overexposure aside, I kind of liked how random panning caught this little girl as she went around.
