Introductions, The Oak Ridge Boys (4 of 10)

On Thursday March 9, 2017, my Wife & I went to the Strawberry Festival in Plant City, Florida, where we attended the Oakridge Boys Show at the Festival Bandshell. This particular Photo shows one of the two Screens on either side of the stage, as the support band was setting up.

 

These photographs show the Bandshell (aka: Theater area) at the Florida Strawberry Festival. Apparently, Belle City Amusements is the prime Carnival Contractor and they supply most of the Rides, Games and Food Joints on the Midway.

 

The Strawberry Festival had a vast number of Rides and Food Joints and I'm sure Bell City Subcontracted other Carnival Vendors to fill the venue; either that, or the Strawberry Festival Board itself hired other Carnival Vendors to supply Rides & Food Vendors.

 

DISCLAIMER: I struggled with most of these photos trying to optimize them, but the combination of the Stage Lighting and the uneven Outdoor Light was difficult to deal with. The Stage itself, was overpowered by the lighting from the Hazy Sunlight and the Display Screen were caught uneven lighting due to angle of the Sun. Using Photoshop™, I spent several hours making various adjustments to overall Brightness & Contrast, Lightening the Shadows, Darkening the Highlights & Adjusting the Mid-range Contrast. Regarding the Color Saturation, I first made a Gross Adjustment to the overall Saturation and then proceeded to make minor adjustments to the individual color components aka: Primary Colors {Reds, Greens, Blues} and the Secondary Colors {Yellow, Cyan & Magenta}, and even fiddled with the Hue Control. I tried Optimizing both Photos of the Stage and Photos of the Display Screens. I felt that the Photos from the Display Screen were slightly better than the Photos from the Stage, except for Resolution & Sharpness. The Photos from the Display screens are of sightly lower Resolution & Sharpness and this is mostly due to the pattern the screen exhibit's due to the material it is made from. This becomes most apparent as the Photo is Magnified. You can see this by clicking the magnification arrows next to the flickr™ Image.
