"Take off" at 2006 "Schueberfouer" funfair.

"Schueberfouer" is the biggest funfair of Luxembourg, which takes place every year end of August at the "Glacis", Limpertsberg. This year is the official 666th edition of the "Fouer". Funfairs are always nice place for taking pictures. More fairy tales will be added.

Historically it seems that a market was allready held at that time of the year back in the 13th century. It was the 20th october 1340 that John the blind, count of Luxembourg, officialy autorized this annual fair. At the time it was of course a big annual market, quite different from nowadays fair.

incredible image!!! fantastic effect!!!

well done

i've tried sth like that with a carroussel. but less spectacular

Hi Mike,
this almost look like a kaleidoscope.
Very nice picture with lots of colours. Very interesting effect created with the movement and a very good idea for a good composition.

Cheers :-)

Hey! Excellent capture indeed! Lucky you weren't flooded with rain that day :D
Is it really the 666th edition? Quite interesting... especially with that star being formed with the lights :D
It might have been an interesting idea to let it open for far more than just 2 seconds :D anything like 15 or so. In that case you might get a more constant flow of light and more interesting shapes and figures :) I still haven't made it to the fair and will be gone again tomorrow until the 31st (at night). Perhaps then? :D
All the best and thanks for sharing such a wonderful picture!! :D

Salut Mike,
Photo génial. J'espère que tu as essayé au moins l'attraction après...
As-tu un nouvel appareil?
Claude

Very nice combination of colors. The chaos of lines has some sense after all.

Hello Mike,
very nice shot, artistic and colorful. Looks like caleidoscope.

hi Mike !
I like this one, very colorful. We can feel the movement with all the lights. Great shot indeed!
Regards.

amazing night active shot.
light dance

t.f.s.

Excellent résultat, je me demande si le résultat ne serait pas meilleur encore avec une pose plus longue. En tout cas les couleurs sont superbes.

Superbe effet de lumière !
