Thanks for commenting. I'm sure a state fair would be much more interesting. For me, it was an unplanned activity to gain more experience filming in low light conditions and possibly get some colorful lights at night. I was mainly going for 2D but occasionally would take a cha cha if it had the slightest possibility of working as a stereo.

Nice, colorful, carnival series. So reminiscent of pics I've taken at the KY State Fair in the past.DukeOn Sat, Apr 25, 2015 at 3:49 PM, Brian Wallace Starg82343(-at-)hotmail.com [anaglyphs] <anaglyphs(-at-)yahoogroups.com> wrote:A Ferris wheel, named after George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr., (sometimes called a big wheel, observation wheel, or, in the case of the very tallest examples, giant wheel) is a nonbuilding structure consisting of a rotating upright wheel with multiple passenger-carrying components (commonly referred to as passenger cars, cabins, capsules, gondolas, or pods) attached to the rim in such a way that as the wheel turns, they are kept upright, usually by gravity.
The original Ferris Wheel was designed and constructed by George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr. as a landmark for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The term Ferris wheel is used generically for all such structures, which are now the most common type of amusement ride at state fairs in the United States.
Since the original 1893 Chicago Ferris Wheel, there have been nine world's tallest-ever Ferris wheels. The current record holder is the 167.6-metre (550 ft) High Roller in Las Vegas, US, which opened to the public in March 2014.
This capture was made at a local carnival in Pasadena, Maryland
