Description
Tomorrow is the opening day of the Minnesota State Fair. I have wanted to upload this image for years (notice the date in the corner- from 2005...lol) but didn't find an appropriate time until now! My favorite time while at the fair is right after sunset when the Midway lights up with life and the sky is many hues of blue.
I appreciate your visit!

That's my favorite time at the fair, too. I tried my hand at some like this last year, but I wasn't happy with them. Your pov becomes really important...and the exposure. I'm going to try again, the next time the fair comes to town, and I hope mine come out half as good as this. Wonderful shot, Jodie. Have fun at the fair!
The CA State Fair opened last Friday and will run through Sept. 3rd. In fact, I plan to go this weekend. :-) I don't go to the midway but it is pretty from a distance at night. I hang out in the barn area, and the exhibit halls, the farming and ag areas and the country western stage and beer hall area... (shame on me...LOL) This is a wonderful shot and I'm glad you found a time to post it.
This centring is perfect and... such marvelous colors! Gorgeous shot wich remember me my so sweet chilhood!;-)
Wow! Really captures the spirit. You know, one trick I've used in the past that you might consider: I make two copies of a picture with contrast of sky and land at odds. One I adjust for the sky, the other for the foreground. I then layer one atop the other, using a transparent gradient to work the contrast down in each direction, so the foreground remains lighter while the background and sky are darkened. The result can be a picture that has a lot of details, yet obviously wasn't shot with a flash. Or, then again, you might just leave well enough alone;o) Keep up the good work!
Wonderfull compo ! Great shot Odie !
Tomorrow I'll go to a Fair very similar like this one... love it ! Great pic Jodie !

Good luck with all the rain Minnesota has been having when you go to your fair, Jodie. Anyway, fine POV, silhouetting and side lighting in this capture, my dear!

Nice fair shot Jodie -- perfect lighting!

Superb lighting and it makes for a fantastic display. Capturing the movement of the people in the foreground creates a festive mood to it all. Excellent, you should have put this up a long time ago.
Fairs can make such great subjects. Great near night-time capture here.
Great scene... puts me there!!
