The Wave Swinger by Henry Chan

The Wave Swinger

5 questions about this photo:

Q1. What equipment did you use?
Nikon D700 with a Sigma 15mm f/2.8 fisheye lens.


Q2. What settings did you have on your camera?
1/40 sec at f/5. ISO 1000. Camera was set to aperture priority at +1/3 exp. Shot RAW and JPG files concurrently.

Q3. What software did you use during the post-production?
I used Picassa to edit the JPG file from the camera, mainly contrast, saturation and sharpening. I generally like working with the JPG file rather than the RAW file.

Q4. What is the location?
The photo was shot at the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) in Toronto. The CNE is the largest annual community event in Canada and the fifth largest fair in North America.

Q5. How did you come up with the idea of this shot?
I go to the CNE annually and look to shoot this ride every year, and try to do it differently somehow each time, at different times of the day and using different lenses.
