Here's the "recipe" for shooting carnival rides at night:

• Manual exposure
• Turn off your flash!
• ISO 100 (you'll be using a tripod and you won't have to deal with "noise")

• Shutter speed: 2 to 8 seconds (play around with it!)
• Sturdy tripod
• Remote shutter release (so you don't shake the tripod)
