The Thrill of the Ride by Leanne LindsayThe Thrill of the Ride by Leanne Lindsay
The vibrant atmosphere of Luna Park Sydney buzzed around me. Drawn to the thrilling section of the park, I found myself captivated by a particular ride. This contraption defied gravity, whirling riders, flying through the air, their legs flung wide. Intrigued, I captured a black and white image from below. The riders, silhouetted against the sky, let out joyous cries that echoed through the park. Their unrestrained expressions mirrored the exhilaration of the ride. While the experience undoubtedly offered a surge of adrenaline, I found a curious sense of serenity observing their uninhibited joy. Perhaps it was the raw display of human experience, or the comfort of knowing my own feet were planted firmly on the ground. Regardless, capturing this scene in black and white proved just as thrilling as any ride, a testament to the captivating energy found within Luna Park.

I took this photo in the incense village of Quang Phu Cau, Vietnam, last April, when I was there on holiday. The incense is left to dry in bunches and has a deep red colour. Even though it was a cloudy day and it was raining a little, I managed to climb to a point high enough to compose the shot.
