My Get Pushed Partner gave me the challenge to try motion blur, perhaps at night, perhaps light trails. Well where? I've photographed the vehicles going up and down the road in front of my house several times. I thought about going to the bridge over the interstate down the road from me. Nope! Dangerous. Lately when it's been getting dark, it seems people have been going home, so there's not many cars on the streets. Then my friend said "too bad the fair's not in town". Hello! The fair in the next town started tonight. My biggest problem was that there was much more light than I expected. And I was hand holding the camera because I really didn't want to drag a tripod with me to the fair. Well I threw out a lot of photos, but got a few that I was pretty pleased with. And, bonus, had a great time taking photos and watching people.
@northy Your challenge gave me a lot of fun tonight and certainly challenged me to use a variety of settings on my camera. Hope this is what you had in mind. Thank you.
I am impressed you went to the next town for this photo! I don’t think I would’ve ventured out like that. It is the perfect subject executed brilliantly for your challenge.
@amyk Thanks Amy. @jamibann Thank you Issi. @jacqbb Thanks Jacqueline. @kjarn Thanks Kathy. @30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks for the feedback Jackie. @rensala Thanks Renee and I did have fun. But "threw out" a hoop and a group of photos. @wakelys Thanks Sue. @dkbarnett Thanks Delwyn. @pusspup Thank you. Most of the effort was fun. @onewing Thanks Babs. @grammyn Thanks Katy. I was with a friend. And the next town is less than 10 minutes from the house. A small town and a small fair that is very popular in the county. @corinnec Thanks Corinne. I owe a lot of credit to my friend who suggested it. @craftymeg Thanks Meg. @fbailey Thanks for saying so Felicity. @haskar Thank you Hannah. Not everything I thought would work did work for light trails. @pyrrhula Thank you. Everything's is so gaudy and colorful and fun at a fair. @olivetreeann I was so glad my friend mentioned a fair. I had such a fun night. @northy Thanks Northy.
