Fair season is not over until you have spent an evening shooting the rides.
This is an activity some of us have partaken for the last few years.
Meet at the fairgrounds.
Wait for the sun to set.
Set your camera on a tripod.
Change your shutter speed to real slow.
Wait for the rides to load up.
Click AWAY!
Of course while you wait for the sun to set, you take more photos 😊.
And so that concludes another fair and another season.

Absolutely love it! I so miss the Fair - ours is east of Nashville, just a little too far, but geographically about the center of this long, narrow state. Nothing like the ride, late at night, on the Vomit Comet after some corn dogs, funnel cake and deep fried whatnot. Yee haw! Great shots!! I am so jealous.🥳
ReplyDeleteThank you John. While I do enjoy taking the long exposure shots, this particular night was grinding on my nerves. The wait time for the rides to start was soooooo long and then they'd last about 2 minutes if that. I sort of lost my patience after a while. Must be my age 😊
DeleteHoly moly, Camellia! You got some good ones. The long exposures are all spectacular. You got some shots of some really interesting people, too. I can tell from the outfits that many people see the fair as something to get dressed up for!
ReplyDeleteyou hit it on the nail Tom as far as dressing up is concerned.Depending on who is lined up for the big concert of the evening, one can find "spectacular outfits". This particular night Shaggy and TLC were on, hence some of the outifits 😉
DeleteHey clickster, this is wonderful blog, I wish I had one like this.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sydney :)
DeleteI love this set more than the first. The sunset ones moving into the light effects and then the end. Beautiful set. Really atmospheric.
ReplyDeleteThank you Gethin 😊
DeleteIf I ever do get there, I'm coming to the fair.😊
ReplyDeleteThen plan on coming in August. We have aircon so you won't suffer too much 😁
DeleteI missed this as I was away so a bit late to the party but really impressive shots Camellia, a great post.
DeleteThank you Peter. I totally understand, I am in the same boat, trying to play catchup. Thanks for stopping in 😉
