I ventured back to the fair tonight, but with fewer children (none) and armed with a determination to get some decent night shots.

 

That determination dwindled as I came to terms with just how poorly the fair was set up for long exposures and all that other fun stuff.

 

So while hanging around in the beer tent with Nard and Jo, we all decided to pull our cameras out and have some fun.

 

I actually like the way this one came out, so I'm sort of pleased that the ride photos turned out to be a bust. If they'd been a success I probably wouldn't have captured this.

 

Anyway, hope everyone has had a good day.
