Thanks Tamara It is fun seeing what does and doesn't show up in these long exposures...over the course of the evening we had several people come up and ham in front of the lens while the exposure was happening - and they don't even show!!

Cool! Wouldln't it be awesome if Ferris wheels actually went as fast as this shot implies?

It's an interesting angle, and I like that you got the trees in.

and were both shooting it more straight on and I didn't want to be a 'shot thief' so I chose to be a bit off center - kind of my style...but it turned out that I really like it with the trees framing it too!!

It's wonderful how many ways a thing can be photographed.

so very true! never ceases to amaze me at how different Caitlin and my photos turn out - even when we're standing side by side and focusing on the same thing!

Is your county fair always so early in the year? I thought most of them were in the autumn so people could show off their harvest veggies.

In this county it is...always Father's Day weekend. When we first moved up here it seemed very early as Ventura County's Fair is in August but I guess there are only so many weekends a year...people adapt as to what they show - no autumn fruits but more "spring" types...kind of fun with the 4H animals as there tend to be more babies about...we love the little goats

Oooo, goats kinda creep me out. I like the little piggies.

how can this lil darlin' creep you out?! [link]

now this one, maybe [link]

I kind of have the same creepy feel about the full grown pigs - but the little ones are very cute!

No, it's their eyes. The pupil going sideways always just ... looks ... creepy. I agree about some full grown pigs

Thanks! Had to do a bit of tweaking in photoshop to get rid of the usual orange glow that our eyes don't see to get it back to the "true" value, but I'm pleased Thanks for viewing and commenting!!
