Brave show-goers take on one of the fast 'twisty-turny' rides on the last day of the Sydney Royal Easter Show. The vibrant, high contrast colours come from the direct late afternoon sunlight.

Took my kids to this annual event to see the animals and didn't expect to have bumped into this man, Duncan McCosker. Duncan is a Professor of Art and a documentary photographer from San Diego, USA and he's using a camera called "Sciliano" (I hope I got it right). He explained that only 50 of these Scilianos were ever made in the world. It is a 6x9 camera using 120 roll films with a 75 F5.6 lens
Interesting. Ah... and he also shoots with an X100.
CORRECTION - Duncan just emailed me - name of this camera is "Siciliano-6X9"
Tec: Fujifilm X-Pro 1, 28 F2, Astia mode
I did not get many shots of fireworks at the Syndey Royal Easter show, To be honest, I was too busy enjoying the show.

From Wikipedia:
"The Sydney Royal Easter Show, also known as the Royal Easter Show or simply The Show, is an annual show held in Sydney, Australia over two weeks around Easter. It is run by the Royal Agricultural Society of New South Wales and was first held in 1823. Queen Victoria, (1837–1901), awarded the society and its show the right to use the word "Royal" in its name.
The Show is historically an event where "city meets country" and the rural industries of Australia can be shown and celebrated once a year.
The Show comprises an agricultural show, an amusement park and a fair and combines the elements of each, showcasing the judging of livestock and produce. This comprehensive fair has many competitions including arts and crafts, photography and cookery, as well as tests of strength and skill such as wood chopping. The Show also has shopping, restaurants, commercial stands and exhibits, a horticultural display, a national accredited conformation dog show and cat show, and stage and arena shows. The Show currently attracts over one million people per year.
The Sydney Royal Easter Show is the largest event held in Australia, and the sixth largest in the world."
Bumper car is the generic name for a type of flat ride consisting of several small electric cars which draw power from the floor and/or ceiling, and which are turned on and off remotely by an operator. They are also known as dodgem cars, or simply dodgems.
The oldest & most common method of powering the cars uses a conductive floor and ceiling, each with a separate power polarity. Contacts under the vehicle touch the floor while a pole mounted contact touches the ceiling, forming a complete circuit.
AND... it's BIG fun!!!

This year I have media accreditation to shoot the Sydney Royal Easter Show. On my first exploratory outing yesterday, I found myself drawn to the chicken grooming session, in preparation for their show day judging. First, the chicken owners wash their chickens in buckets of detergent, then rinse them in clean water. Next, they dry them with hand-held hairdryers for 30-40 minutes. The chickens tolerate the handling, water and direct heat without so much as a squawk!
