I have posted more this month than I have in awhile, quite awhile. Anyway, I am still going on about the fair, it may be over but it is far from forgotten. Usually when I shot at the fair I get several shots of the goats, not sure why guess I just like them. This year wasn’t any different as you can see here:  click to embiggen Not too baaaaad!

3 comments  But I don’t boogie, I can’t boogie and never could boogie. But that is neither here nor there. But the title is a good intro to a new photo. This was just taken with my point and shoot but I like it.  click to embiggen The fair is over, I am going to miss it. 351 more days till the next one!

One comment  These things are just creepy. Who’s with me on this?  click to embiggen Seriously, I didn’t like them as a kid. I always had to ride in the chair thing they had on the merry go round. July 25th, 2010 | Tags: creepy, fair, merry go round | Category: Photography, Twisted Visions |
Leave a comment You caught me, that’s a lie. I would say that I have been to the fair more this week than any two prior years combined. Helping with the churches booth and just browsing around. I love going to the fair and taking photos, animals being the biggest draw for me. Not sure why but they fascinate me. In all my years of fair going and taking photos I have never found a more cooperative animal.  click to embiggen I mean really, the goat smiled for me!

3 comments I entered a previously posted portrait of my girls in the fair. Got second place this year. I love doing this, I don’t really care if I win anything or not, but it is nice. I am hoping to get more photos done soon. I think my Crohn’s has leveled out for now. As long as I don’t get the flu again I can get something accomplished. The time is counting down till the fair. Would you like to know how much I have accomplished? Nothing, nada, not a darn thing. I would love to say it was because I was so busy with other projects but it’s not. I am the king of procrastination. If it were a Olympic event I would take the gold every time. It is a sad but true fact about me. I will end up trying to get it all done in one or two days, even though I have had an entire year to work on it. Yes I did it in school too. Most of my papers and book reports were done the day before they were due, and honestly, it was noticeable. I did not excel in either of those aspects of my schooling. Now instead of wasting more time on here I need to go to bed and get some sleep so I can get out tomorrow and do something about this fair entry. We got out of the house the Saturday and went to brother in-laws for a cookout. Lots and lots of food was consumed. I way over ate and will be paying for it for years to come. We hung out for several hours so we could walk to the park and watch the fireworks. I love fireworks, I especially love photographing fireworks. This year I went under prepared. All I brought was my little point and shoot. While it may not be the greatest camera in the world, it served it’s purpose. Like they say, “the best camera is the one you have with you.” Because it is a point and shoot, I didn’t have near the control I am used to. This led to some interesting effects, or as I call them, happy accidents. Such as this shot which sort of looks like a galaxy. I was shooting handheld which caused squiggles and the glowing white orb bottom right is a street light. When you get to the party late you get stuck with an obstructed view.  click to embiggen Yet another one resembling a galaxy, the squiggles are more pronounced in this one.  click to embiggen This one just looked cool!  click to embiggen Last but not least the colors in this one were nice.  click to embiggen I would have loved to show you a shot of the finale but it was several bursts ran together so the photo is just a burnt out mess. See ya later! July 5th, 2010 | Tags: 4th of july, camera, cookout, fireworks, happy accidents, party, photographing fireworks, Saturday | Category: Photography, Random |
2 comments - (Comments are closed)Yeah I have been neglecting you blog, I am truly sorry. I have been fretting over so many things that I want to do that I forgot to work on you. On the bright side I did increase your font size so I and others can read you. Now all I have to do is get someone to want to read you. Please don’t be jealous of Facebook, it’s just a midlife fling, I love you blog. I could never love Facebook, it runs around on me with so many strangers that I can’t even count them all. I will be back to you soon blog, there are so many things I want to tell you. In the mean time just remember the good times we have had! |
