Photo of the Day: Rides and Light

So you're getting a series of photos today. Last weekend my friends drug me to a carnivalesque park and I took the opportunity to really play with my camera. I did some cool stuff out of pure tinkering, but now I'm learning SO much about long exposures. 

The movement of the rides really lent itself to the medium and now I'm excited to shoot other moving light like traffic. But I'm also excited to try long exposure with stationary light.

For some comparison:
