At the fun fair – the Tivoli – in Grenoble
Fun fair- Tivoli – in Grenoble
As we arrived Grenoble from Paris with our rented car, I couldn’t help to notice the fun fair – or the Tivoli as it’s also called. Immediately I decided that I would go there one evening to take some pictures. So we brought our friend and the camera and headed over: All the coloured lights against the dark backdrop was an excellent opportunity to shoot some photos!
Check out the other photos from the fun fair – the Tivoli in this gallery:
Funfair- tivoli – in Grenoble
Almost like a Chanukkia at the Tivoli.
On this photo I zoomed in & out while the photo was being shot.
I should have used a faster shutter speed on this one, to get the faces more in focus, but then the photo would also have lost some of its sense of speed.
I still like this photo, because you can clearly see that the people are having fun.

On these photos I’ve used a photo technique called motion blur. The motion blur effect is achieved when you set your camera to a slow shutter speed.

Why your welcome! I am actually a Miss – but I will accept Mademoiselle! lol we had a whole conversation about that at work the other day if you’d believe it! I am constantly getting mail addressed as Mrs. and I’m like hey I’m not married, I don’t even have a ring! Yet when people/clients talk to me on the phone it’s almost always Miss – I will take that to mean I still sound young I suppose! lol

These are wonderful! How fun. You did a great job capturing the excitement of the fair. I agree with you on slowing down the shutter to catch the motion. It works so well for these shots you don’t mind the faces being out of focus.

Sometimes a slow shutterspeed can produce interesting results.
Back in the early days of photography a slow shutter speed was the only way to photograph. Must have been a hassle to get your portrait done back then!

Love the colors and the motion. I felt I was there because I’m dizzy from the rides.

Great pictures, especially with the ones that look like a giant wheel. Some pictures turned out as an abstract one.

Abstract, almost borderline psychedelic.
