The Santa Monica Ferris Wheel

This is a shot that I've wanted to take for a long, long time. The last time I tried to take it, I brought my camera and my big tripod - only to find that I forgot the flash memory for my camera. Stupid! This time I made sure not to miss out.

The shot is rather easy to take - point and shoot and keep the lens open long enough to capture a long rotation of the ferris wheel. In this shot I left it open for about 10 seconds.
