About I've long wanted to capture this strange (huge!) modern sculpture. It looks like a fairground ride--and a pretty dizzy one. This shot tested the noise-levels in my D300. At 540 ISO it was rather disappointing. I had to use noise-reduction that has softened the image a little...

so very fine ,I thought from the thumb nail it was some thing like Disney Land,
my regards,
Saad.

Thank you, Saad. Yes, it looks like a Disney ride, doesn't it. I wanted to climb it but I'm too old for that now...

The all-seeing eye again Roger. Lots of interesting action from the people caught up in the shot. I love the patterning formed from the paving.....Another lovely shot my friend. Cheers again........Ray

Thanks, Ray. That modern "sculpture" is really something, isn't it! On the full-size image the young lady with the bare legs is actually visible in the distance, too--she walked that much closer while I was doing my thing with the fisheye lens and monopod! We call these double images of people "doppelgangers" (German).

I didn't comment on the sculpture as I wasn't too sure what it was Roger. I can now say that it is very impressive my friend. I am sure I have seen samples of your doppleganger images way back in the past Roger and it is awesome to see that effect on your multi exposure compositions. BTW young ladies with SHAPELY bare legs can appear in your shots as many times as they d--n well please ..........Cheers to you my dear friend....Ray

Unfortunately "shapely" is not a word that comes to mind often in Japan, Ray... "sturdy" would be the kindest. But I keep looking [grin]

Interesting photo.


Roger Williams   {K:84106} 9/16/2009
Thank you, Janina. This is a very unusual "sculpture" for Japan, where public art often reflects the tastes of anonymous committees and tends to be safe and a little boring!

Very unique and well seen.
Like the paving and the way it forms a nice shape to the foreground
Thanks for your nice comments
