The best way to describe this image is the view I remember as a child. I grew up in Sydney and visited theme parks many times. I wanted to revisit my view of all the “big things” in the fun park from a child’s perspective. The ferris wheel always looked so high up. So much higher than the flag poles. I love the way the flags flutter in the wind and the ferris wheel towers into the bright sky. Fond memories.

Black and white photography need not always contain complex things. A big open sky and a single object can create interest and curiosity when the subject seems to float into the clouds and sky. Look for ways to tell a story with your image connecting the subject to the environment or surrounds. Quite often there will be a lot of sunlight, so be careful shooting directly into the sun, if it’s overhead. Freeze the scene with a fast shutter speed.
