The Imagination Takes Off Photo

Photographer’s Note

Children on a carrousel may imagine that it and the Eiffel Tower become one, a giant spinning top, perhaps even rising into the air if they spin fast enough.

Hi Ken,

Ha, something different with the tower inside, i like that. Both elements are dominant in the frame with even a very good motion inside...i like this, very creative work.

Regards,

Henk

Great! Like a dream. Like a tale. This photo remembers me the story of Pinocchio and his "Paese dei balocchi"( the village of the toys). I don't know why. Oh..do you know who is Pinocchio? If not, I will explain it to you!

Hello Ken,

What an imaginative shot — the Eiffel tower in sharp focus, riding on a spinning flying saucer. This is perhaps even better as a demonstration of the angular momentum vector, L=rxp. (Of course, if L is pointing up, in the direction of the Eiffel Tower, the revolution (spin) of the horses must be from left-to-right, which I believe the image shows. But then there is enough of a blur, that I would be victim of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.)

Have a good Sunday,

Bulent

Hello Ken. What for a special photo. Static and moved picture elements complement each other outstanding. A motion study worth seeing. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hi Ken,

Very original and nice shot of Eiffel Tower! What a fantastic POV to get this carrousel centered in front of the tour. Perfet exposure to get the movement of the carrousel. Bravo!

Regards,

Flavia
