The Wonderful World of Color... - a photo on Flickriver

The World of Color Show lights up Paradise Bay with light, color and water like nothing you've ever seen.

This shot was inspired by Gregg Coopers amazing shot from a few weeks ago.

I just wanted to go a step further by capturing the World of Color show as well. I had to sit in that location at the Cove Bar for 4 hours to make sure I had the exact chair that I wanted for the show. I took a few hundred photos in the hour before and during the show. I kept the camera on the tripod, without moving it and waited for the wheel to look the way I wanted and chose the focus point for the wheel to take that picture. Then I moved the focus point to the swings and hotel to take several exposures of it. Then I moved the focus point to the Zephyr and took several shots of it spinning and sitting still. After that I waited for the show to begin to photograph it. Then came the merging of all those photographs in Photoshop Elements. The nice thing about all the layers I created is that I can easily switch out pictures of the fun wheel and the show to make completely different looking shots. I'll be posting more of them on what I will call "World of Color Wednesdays".
