Heath OFeeToday, another shot from the midway at the Calgary Stampede. I’ve always loved these swing rides at amusement parks…there’s something about being swung around at the end of a long lead that is quite peaceful. I figured the best way to capture this sense of peace was to keep the frame simple, so I left the swings and riders as a silhouette against the large bank of cloud and sky behind them. Looking for simple frames such as this amid the hustle and bustle of a fairground was a good exercise.
Great composition and love the silhouette of the riders! Great eye Heath!
Totally agree about the odd peacefulness of these things. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
The silhouettes make the shot for me. Great capture bud.
Very cool!
Love the simple framing and gorgeous sky, I’m such a sucker for silhouettes. Nice work.
