The funfair is a perfect spot for some longtime exposure shots. All the moving lights of the the different attractions are so beautiful when doing a longtime exposure on it. I really enjoy it every time I have the opportunity to do some pictures of enlighted attractions like these. The Chaos and the Ferry wheel are always so great and I enjoy their colores every time. Then whenever there is a fireworks which usually takes place twice during the Urfahrmarktfestival I also like to take pictures of the explosions and the beautiful colors of the fireworks. One thing I hate about all the people there is that you have to be very carefull and always protect your camera gear so nobody throws it over or damages it. And usually at the funfair there is not really a good spot with a lot of space that I can claim for myself.

Then if I want to get something to eat or take a seat at a food shop it is also not so easy witht he camera gear, since there is also very limited space where I can put my tripod and the camera bag. For occasions like this a friend who can take a look at the camera bag and gear is worth a lot. In pictures like these the motion blur of the light that is created is the most interesting and I always wonder how beautiful the results can get.
