Location
Between the BBC drama village where they film Dr Who and the Welsh Assembly Government building appears this ferris wheel every winter for the Christmas holidays in Cardiff BayTime
I took this shot on a cloudy day whilst out doing my duties as a traffic warden. As usual too busy taking photos than sneaking up on some poor motorist and giving them a ticket. If i remember rightly this shot was taken about 11 am on a fairly wet and windy day.Lighting
Not really a lot to say as the camera did it allEquipment
My first digital camera a GE X2600 bridge camera bought for £49 which replaced my praktica film camera i had for some 25 years until it stopped working. I must admit people must have thought i was a bit daft dressed as a traffic warden in Cardiff Bay shooting pictures or the big wheel in the rain but this photo certainly was worth it.Inspiration
To be honest i just fancied having a play with my new toy.Editing
Only an amateur so post processing is something i will lean about as i go along.In my camera bag
Camera and spare batteries and one or two sd cardsFeedback
Get out and try different things and lean from your experiences, if you feel a bit silly and think people might think your a bit of a fool, who cares the results can be rewarding.
