Today I'd like to share with you yet another camera rotation technique that doesn't require any specialized photographic equipment: The rotation axis on these photos is a merry-go-round in a park.
The following photos were made in June 2014. The colors were created with two different dichroic filters that I rescued from old colored halogen bulbs and glued them on two cheap flashlights. It took many attempts to get a few good ones but that's all part of the fun.
This is a side view of the spinning apparatus shot in 2011.
I'm also on Instagram - Facebook - Flickr - Vimeo - Twitter

Very cool, if visited my local park in the dark, I'd likely be arrested lol...
Thanks bud. really? they're very friendly here. Despite usually ruining whatever foto I'm making with their flashlights. I make sure I don't permanently blind them by shining mine on them... ask if they want to see what I'm doing and they're usually fine.
Haha, when @fadetoblack Tim ventures over to my side of the country he thinks we're all wierd this side. He's had a drug addict asking us if we were police, a bunch of lads running past stripped to the waist and a group of ghosthunters with lanterns. I'm finding it hard to deny that we're all wierdo's this side of the Pennines.... I've been stopped loads of times by the police asking if I'm a ghosthunter or ghostbuster...
I've heard stories of those ghosthunters. Hilarious 😂
They must think we have a special link with the spirit world, making them visible with our cameras.
