September Fairs 2019

I love the colors of Ferris Wheels when you use a long exposure.  Photographed at the St. Mary's County Fair.

This goat was dressed as Thing Two from Dr. Seuss's book, "The Cat in the Hat" in the pet costume contest.

A rabbit enjoys the backside of a sibling to take a nap.

My friend Nell's flower entry was lovely.

More colors I loved.

These cows were certainly friendly.

The Ridge Festival was late this year.  Here is a ride I never had the courage to try.

And the winning number is...

An amusement worker looked friendly.

Ridge Carnival

We visited the Ridge Carnival a few times.  I picked out some of my favorite shots, showing a variety of things you would see at a Fair.  I will share why I liked a particular photo beneath it.  Which ones do you like?

I liked the repeating patterns in this one.

A romantic moment while watching the kids on the teacup ride.

Good things come in threes.  The pink monkey breaks the pattern.

A child brings a smile to a game worker.

Interesting textures with the fence.

Lots of emotion here!

I liked the frame in a frame and big smiles.

Her hair shows the movement, even though this is a still image.  Lots of emotion!

Fun colors.  Since the smurf is bigger, it became the subject in an otherwise busy shot.

The St. Mary's County Fair is this week, September 18-21.  Maybe these photos will give you some ideas for photographing it or interest you enough to attend or enter a contest.  One of the photography categories in the photo contest run by the St. Mary's County Camera Club is last years County Fair.
