I was taking some handheld motion blur snapshots at a local carnival and noticed that the kids on the rides were NOT blurred. In some cases they were even duplicated, but still sharp. Weird!

was there a strobe flashing?

must be a bright flashing light on the ride? you might not even realize it's flashing... or the light is blocked and then revealed by a moving obstruction, but that would have to be really fast.

I would guess that the bright white lights at the center were strobes and you caught a couple flashes during the exposure time (they also appear duplicated instead of blurred).

Very cool, though!

It probably was a strobe effect, but not an obvious blinking light. Maybe there was an obstruction blocking a continuous light on the opposite side. I'll have to check it out if I go back.

It's not just the kids that are "strobed", it's the railings around the center and some other "stationary" components of the wheel...

Whatever it winds up being I love the pics! What fun! (To see, not do ... If I was on there you\'d have something rather gross included in your strobe effect. Getting green just thinking about it.)
