186: Amusement

Love love love these swing rides. Love the movement you can capture, the angles, shadows and faces! I partook in a big day of adventures with old friends today. We saw the sunrise in Caloundra, had breakie by the beach, went strawberry picking and finished up with some theme park fun at Ettamogah Pub on the way home. What a day it's been. One great photoshoot! Had lots of trouble choosing the photo to best represent such a fun day, and wish that for once I could post a series. But I got ruthless and decided, this one was a winner.

136: Fun at the fair

This weekend is of course the Brookfield Show! I just couldn't resist a trip to the little country fair that graces our calendar's annually in May. You could call it a mini Ekka, with rides, stalls, bars, showbags, competitions, animals and horse events, but on a much more local scale. I was a little inspired by a picture I noticed in the photography competition and tried to capture my own take on it with this shot. Right on dusk it was nice to catch the natural light as well as the colours from the ride.
