The Dane County Fair was held this weekend. There were plenty of opportunities for night carnival shots and long exposures. I’ve never tried this kind of photography, so I was lucky to arrange to meet up with a group of Madison photographers. They were kind enough to give me some on-the-spot assistance.

The Queen of the Midway was the ferris wheel, and I found it hard not to stop for “just one more shot” whenever we walked through the carnival rides.

I wasn’t willing to get on this whirly ride, but I had fun shooting it as it went through its gyrations.
