Master photographer Robert Breese of Warwick may have had more fun with the ferris wheel at the Chester PBA carnival than the people actually riding it. He captured several images the evening of Saturday6, June 22, at various several-second exposures while adjusting the zoom and other camera settings. He also took some shots of the wheel in proximity to the supermoon, which also had folks looking up Saturday night. To see how he did it, click through the photos and read the captions underneath each one.
