Fair Pics

[Sundae]

That's where the difference is, in the fairs then. Our fairs are purely run by "travelling folk" and designed to part you from your money ASAP - no livestock or races. Yours sounds like a cross between a fair and a County Show.

County Shows could definitely be improved by having rides, but I didn't think fairs could be improved much. However a with a pig race, or swimming pigs....! Wow.

You can get chips n cheese here too but the cheese is real cheese, grated into a soft yellow pile on top (what is this squirty thing - gives me the dithers) In fact my local in London used to do an eye watering version of chilli chips n cheese that it took 3 of us to eat. But not at a fair. Never at a fair.

I want to move to America now.

At Goose Fair in Nottingham (20 odd miles from my home) you can get mushy peas in a cup. With mint sauce. Can't say it ever appealed to me.

The squirt off to the side is just some cheese run-off.
The peas and mint does not sound great to me.
I also had a Polish sausage with onions and peppers, coffee, with a funnel cake dusted with powdered sugar; throughout the night.
The most I have eaten in a VERY long time... I have not eaten today and still feel full.

Has my composition improved guys?
Keep in mind I can only work from a chair, so my mobility and from where I can shoot is limited, but I try.
Having fun with the filters and new lenses.
Should I have tried my polarizing filter? What would it do with the lights, etc?
I may go back on Sat. any suggestions?
I have some family snapshots in the album too, if anyone cares to see them (without sharing them), PM me.

My favourites out of your pics were 1278 with the ghostly bumper-car (or dodgems) riders and 1280 with the fisheye thingie.

We must of combined the two.

We have "Shows"....they call them Agricultural Shows, as there are heaps of animals... horse/cow/chook judging etc

Plus, side show alley, which is the traveling folk, following the circuit with all the rides and yummy food (my favorite being the Dagwood Dog!).

We have pig races and pig swimming, even pig high diving!!

I love shows!!
