This was one of my toys from my childhood! Today I found it and decided to take some shots of it spinning! I got the results I was wishing!

Today was too hot to have a walk. I'm still getting ''ready'' to the hot again. :P
24ºC is just good! hope it keeps like that!wo-wo!

Looks like that flooring was designed for the top, very cool capture Ricky mystic1 · 2010-04-09: 13:13

buen trabajo!!!! fotosalicante · 2010-04-09: 16:36

Neato. I like the motion. smbunation · 2010-04-09: 17:27

Great idea! :-) wfrnk · 2010-04-09: 17:42

Interesting shots....and well done! Love the sense of motion.... lookagain · 2010-04-09: 20:07

Interesting capture. And hope the air at your place will be fine as your wish too. huiching · 2010-04-09: 20:25

really cool shots! jennye · 2010-04-09: 20:30

Kid ages memories ! Shaparak · 2010-04-09: 21:06

Wow Ricky! You're posts just keep getting better and better and better (except when you do the scary bugs) ha ha. I really think you need to write to Michael and change your name from "Only" Ricky. There's no "only" about it. (((((Ricky))))) ????? · 2010-04-09: 21:39

Love the third shot with the top leaning slightly over. I can imagine how a shot like this would look with the top leaning even further over. It would appear to defy gravity! matteveryday365 · 2010-04-09: 22:00

Good idea and I like the results. This would be a great submission for Ted's "light, camera, action" Gallery of Light! DancingDolphin · 2010-04-09: 22:20

Perfect idea to spin it in that little groove in the floor! Great use of motion, too! djnana · 2010-04-09: 23:00

Fun memories and great shots! thebronzebow · 2010-04-09: 23:42

Great shots! I love how it's in the groove! darfoster · 2010-04-10: 00:00

nice idea,, vampire ricky jessicashan · 2010-04-10: 03:06

Wow! Cool :D ????? · 2010-04-10: 04:35

#3 and 5 are Tops!! Cool post. RayNvb · 2010-04-10: 07:56

You are the tops Ricky! Great post! ArtBee · 2010-04-10: 08:16

I like #3!!! miclaud · 2010-04-10: 11:13

Fantastic captures Ricky...simplest ideas often get the best outcomes cariad · 2010-04-10: 13:45

Very nice set!! agandia · 2010-04-10: 15:11

Wow - terrific action shots Ricky. When I saw #3 as a thumbnail, I thought that it was the same type of snail that Kozuka had posted today ;-) Jarvo · 2010-04-10: 19:58

ha ha ! i remember this when i was in grade school , i used to make my own top , cut a rounded branch of a tree and drive a big nail on it , then i slowly and patiently shape it..thanks a lot for sharing ! best regards , rob blackhawk1552 · 2010-04-10: 22:52

That's really good. According to me, #2 is the best : the colours are great and you made a good use of the depth of field. MarieZ · 2010-04-11: 08:08

love this set!!! TIM927 · 2010-04-11: 11:18

Wow! Great work! I like especially #2 and 4!! YUKJA · 2010-04-12: 15:27

Terrific shots! I love spinning tops! I have a collection (handmade) in wood and painted... and whenever I can I play with them ;-)) No. 3 into my favs! ????? · 2010-04-13: 03:14

Wonderful set, love #3 very much!!! ????? · 2010-04-13: 08:19

Também gostei sempre muito de brincar com piões e este me fez lembrar a minha infância! :)) Unchained · 2010-04-13: 19:40
