Description
This is my second upload of a fisheye image, and like my previous one I took it this summer at Le Croisic, a small town in southern French Brittany, near Nantes. It is also the first of a short series of merry-go-round images.
I had little time to comment these times (perhaps in some days I hope to visit some of your galleries), so I want here to thank those of you who took some time to comment my pictures, and I wish them and to the whole Renderosity community a happy Christmas. For those who are in pain, suffer or met with death among people they love, I send them all my wishes to overcome these sad events and always remember that life can be meaningful even then.

Cool shot.

Joyeux Noel! Wonderful lighting in this. I love all the blue, and it brings back such fond memories of childhood--all the wonder and play and excitement of merry-go-rounds. Night time was always the best. I remember how I always felt disappointed when a ride began to slow down and the music would fade. This is magical. Thank you for your support as well.

a little noise but an excellent example for wide lens.happy new year

Of course, Richard, at ISO 400 with a compact camera of 2002 (even if it's a professional-class model), there is a lot of noise… Difficult to avoid, nothing in common with the last SLR generation. Price too is not at all the same, here 75 euros for the Coolpix 5000 in nearly-new condition (in 2002, at least 500 euros) and 85 for the Nikkor FC-E8 fisheye lens. Guess what would be the price for only a Canon of Nikkor fisheye lens…

COMMENTAIRE REFAIT: UNE SUPERBE PHOTO AVEC UNE NETTETÉE FORMIDABLE, MALGRÉ LE SOIR QUI SURGIT BRAVO VOIR Notre beau carrousel: Carrousel de Montréal Ce carrousel a été fabriqué en Belgique vers 1885 puis, après un séjour aux États-Unis, a été amené à Montréal par la Ville qui l’avait acquis à l’occasion d’Expo 67. Selon les registres de la National Carrousel Association basée aux États-Unis, il s’agirait du plus ancien carrousel au Canada et l’un des dix plus anciens en Amérique du Nord. La valeur historique Le carrousel de La Ronde constitue un rare témoignage d’art et de construction qui a peuplé et animé les villes industrielles d’Europe, d’Amérique et d’ailleurs aux XIXe et XXe siècles. Outre sa présence à Expo 67, le carrousel a fait partie du paysage télévisuel québécois des années 1970, alors qu’il figurait au générique de la célèbre série télévisée Quelle famille! de Radio-Canada. La menace Partie de la collection artistique de la Ville de Montréal, ce carrousel a été négligemment cédé à la multinationale des parcs d’attractions Six Flags avec la cession de La Ronde en 2001. La compagnie en a apparemment fait la restauration en 2003 mais depuis, le carrousel est démonté et entreposé dans des conteneurs. Outre la crainte de voir ce bien patrimonial subitement exporté, l’organisme s’inquiète des conditions de sa conservation et des dommages que son mécanisme ou ses ornements pourraient subir. Les actions d’Héritage Montréal En 2001, Héritage Montréal est intervenu, sans succès, auprès de l’administration du Maire Bourque pour que ce carrousel soit exclu de l’entente avec Six Flags et demeure à Montréal comme propriété municipale. En 2003, l’organisme a établi une relation avec des représentants de la National Carrousel Association afin d’amener Six Flags à protéger ce patrimoine. Actuellement, Héritage Montréal participe aux travaux de mise à jour du plan directeur du parc des Îles et souhaite attirer l’attention des autorités municipales et de la compagnie Six Flags pour que ce carrousel soit remis en fonction et retrouve son usage d’antan. « Montréal est le dépositaire privilégié d’un spécimen unique, authentique représentant de la tradition européenne, celle-là même qui a influencé les fabricants américains. »

Well done! Happy new year!!!

Je viens de me plonger dans ton site sur le fish-eye (drôle de bestiole que celui qui y est montré!) lequel ne se prête aps à tout, évidemment. Là, c'est parfait, sans doute à cause de la courbure propre du manège. Et l'atmo est super, bravo! Et bonne année en passant...

Toute une ambiance les manèges, chaleureux et simples.

Nice work!

~Beautiful & Evocative~ PURE MAGIC!!!

Superbe comme image. J'aime bien.

I love this image and the other from your book. This is perfect for the use of the fisheye lens as it exagerates the shape and gives a sureal look to a place that is already part fantasy. Your other images are wonderful too. I plan to come back and look some more. I loved the oyster fields and the Santa Clara blocks. The pictures of the Santa Clara blocks remind me of the way buildings look in the sculpture "Cloud Gate" in Chicago. I have pictures, but they are on film. I'm hoping to get my scanner for my birthday this summer. Here's one that Tara (auntietk) took. http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1996607&comment_page=1#comments

Rebonjour, cher Edouard! J'ai fait un long break par rapport à Rendo et ce que j'en attendais, pour d'autres raisons aussi, mais je n'avais pas oublié en revenant l'existence de ta galerie! Ce manège photographié ainsi évoque bien l'atmosphère de fête et le mouvement permanent qui l'anime. Une très belle photo!
Mousson
Superbe photo !!!
Svin
Beautiful shot! And thank you!)
