Photo by John Farrell
Light Wheel
This is the Seattle Wheel. I have photographed this ferris wheel many times, and never been happy with the results. This time, when doing a series of long exposures, the ferris wheel put on a beautiful light show which resulted in this photo.
Post processing notes:
Like all ON1 photos, I generally start out with Brilliance Ai and adjust from there. I typically try and get a good spread on the histogram, which makes me go into the Tone and Color and tweak it around a little. The only effects added was a slight glow at 50% opacity and dynamic contrast. The camera settings were f/5, and 5 seconds, at 200 ISO. The long exposure was achieved by use of a 3-stop Kolari ND filter.Exif information:
