Summer Stock at the Fair

Middlesex County Fair at night, August 3, 2009
Yes, more photos from the Middlesex County Fair: night shots capture action and light.
I really don’t like going on the rides, but they are fun to photograph. This photo was taken just a few hours earlier than the one above.
Dhaval thought my sepia photo of the fair was still a bit gloomy, so I added back in a bit more of the colors from the fair. Then I took the sky out of sepia mode, so now it’s really the cars alone that get the sepia treatment.
For more Summer Stock Sunday, visit Robin’s Around the Island.
I love that first shot – the blur of the lights gives the shot a great sense of movement.
Fairs are fun, as your shots show. I also like the night one best.
I love the picture of the ride day and night. What a great idea!
As to Kos, Greece, the 6 grandchildren and we were on a day visit from a kosher cruise which took us to Marmaris (Turkey), Kos, and Limasol (Cyprus). The cruise was to celebrate Bar/Bat Mitzvahs. We hope to do more as more of the kids reach that milestone. We live in Israel and I guide kosher tours to China and to Vietnam/Cambodia. Thanks for visiting my blog!
You did very in capturing the lights…
Very colourful.
The first shot for me very much captures what a fair is about
I like the first one best because of the energy that transpires.
Looks like fun Leora, I am with you I don’t like to ride much but taking pictures there would be a blast!

The night shot is my favorite…love those lights!
I could have never imagined the tent to be blue haha I guess I always had red and yellow tent in my mind and when I saw the black and white, I thought if the tent is red and yellow or red and orange, if you color only that element it would look great hehe… wow… interesting how one would imagine colors out of black and white and how far they could be from actual colors!
Thanks for the response… I hope to continue to play with photos as part of blogging. Maybe in my next one I should make the colors something different, and perhaps have people guess what were the original colors? It’s an idea.
sounds great! I doubt if I could ever get that in first turn haha! I like the fire truck ladder on the left of tent… nice composition:)
I like what you did to that last picture, very creative. But the first and especially the second one are my favorites!
