Fun at Bonfante Gardens


A group of us went to Bonfante Gardens in Gilroy, CA. It is an amusement park with a lot of really nice landscaping. There are quite a few rides there for little ones. This shot is of Tom's son, Jeffrey, and my daughter, Madison, having fun on spinning ride. Even though you can't see a clear expression on their faces, I hope it still shows enough that you can definitely tell they are having fun. Shot at 1/8, f/32, 75mm on D70 with Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8.

Not a bad shot. It would better a little darker, colors are a bit washed out.

Nice one! Great sense of very fast motion, and fun expressions.

I agree with Martin. I tried to darken it a little but the highlights are too much, unfortunately. I've been learning that with digital photography, it is better to err on the underexposed side since it is easier to correct. Thanks for the comments from Martin and Warren.

Benson,

Nice shot of fast action. I have trying the underexposure and those settings seem to give you more options.

Don't give up on fixing this with Photoshop. Although the highlights are blown out, darkening the photo will increase the color saturation and improve the look. It won't be perfect, but still an improvement from the original.
