Motion of the Carousel

Motion, we are in constant motion.  Even while we are sleeping our world is spinning around us.  To capture that in a photograph is actually not as easy as it would seem.  When I saw the carousel spinning round and the extravagantly decorated horses going up and down, I knew I had to photograph it for a lesson in motion photography.  The movement of the carousel is similar to how the earth rotates.  I found it amazing how the camera showed the people on the ride so clear and yet the horses show the sweeping effect of movement.
