Fair Foto Fun...

I really should save these pictures for later. I need to show you the boring "look at my kids on the rides" photos first. Then I can get you all excited for the really neat shots I got.

But I can't wait.

While the kids (and Joe) rode some of the rides, I was playing with the camera trying to get some creative shots of all the fair lights and activities. These may not be original in creativity but I think they turned out pretty neat.

There were so many bright colors but it was hard to get the
exposure right with all the variation in lighting.

This shot makes it appear like the ride is super fast! But it's not.
(It's the ride on the left in the shot above.)

The framing is bad on this one but it's the only shot I could get. The ride ended
before I could try anymore but I love all the color.

The swings! I have this shot with red lights, too!

The ferris wheel was so fun. I took several shots of it
because the lights kept changing.

Tahlia and Joe are on this one!

I'll post kids-at-the-fair picture tomorrow.

PS. This week at You Capture was photographer's choice. So, since I think these shots are pretty good, I'm using them. :D

Beautiful colors! I actually quite like the offset framing of the photo you only got one of. What a fun take on a fair!

Whoa...that's really cool! They're all really great, but something about the fourth one (I guess they're swings?) really stands out. Great captures!
