This image was shot during the pandemonium of the 2011 Lincoln Christmas Market. Luckily for me though, in front of the Dodgems at mid evening on the Thursday night was one of only a few places you could use a tripod without it getting knocked over. I had pre-visualised the image before going there and hoped that the conditions would be right to attempt it. I took ten versions of this and here is the winner. The biggest barrier to the composition was that you have no control over what the dodgem drivers were going to do. The final result reminds me of something from the Tron movies.

The fairground rides at Folly Farm are all vintage attractions collected from around the country. The evocative dodgems date from the 1950s (I think) and were originally operated at Clacton, Essex. I was immediately reminded of David Essex in That'll Be The Day.

A day out a a theme park is not a day out at a theme park without the obligatory bumper cars, to me!
An evening with Worthing Camera Club in Brighton.
As the light began to fade the lights, shadows and reflections make a special atmosphere.

Dodgems and no price stated. I've never agreed with fairground rides. They go up in price by night and you will only get about 50 seconds and if you bump you would get told off.
