Light Painting

I could most likely get away with telling you this was my attempt trying to do a camera technique called 'light painting'. It is something I have been wanting to experiment with. However, this is purely a couple of happy mistakes I made trying to take photos of the Christmas lights on my front porch.

I like both the abstract effect and the colors.

Very happy mistakes!

At The Fair

This past weekend I attended the nearby fair that was almost in my backyard. Actually you could hear the stage music from my yard. I have loved carousels since I was a little girl when I would ride and ride and ride. Walking through the carnival I spotted these lovely bright horses. Their red trim made them perfect for Ruby Tuesday and the now departed Project Black.

The last night of the fair I was leaving a truck pull (more to come on those) and I saw the lights of the ferris wheel. I knew my camera could not really pick up the image well since I was over the length of a football field away; but I snapped anyway. These are not good images by any means; but the abstract look of both of them appealed to me and so I like them and present them in that respect.

Here's hoping dear readers that your day goes round and round with nothing but joy!

George, I hope you're reading this today because this one's for you!
