It's fun to make long exposures of Ferris wheels. The light patterns you see are endless! Electric snowflakes, they are!

History tidbit: George Washington Gale Ferris Jr., (February 14, 1859 – November 22, 1896), inventor for the Ferris wheel, lived in Carson City, Nevada, for a short period of time. The Sears–Ferris House is at 311 W Third Street in Carson City. And in Reno, there is a street named after Ferris.

A long exposure of a spinning Ferris wheel. Leaving the camera shutter open causes the lights to make all kinds of interesting patterns. This one has spokes radiating out from the center of green, light blue, and dark blue. There's a wide black line near the out edge where the lights were off.

This one has a flower like pattern out to about three quarters of the way to the outside edge. The center of the flower is white and the outer edge is red. There are also white spikes shooting out from the red part.

@elaterite Which begs the question, is there a Ferris wheel named after George Washington Gale Ferris Jr.? Like the Ferris Ferris wheel or something.
