Shoot at State Fair this Sunday...HELP! - 10-11-2007, 09:06 PM


Hey guys,
I'm shooting an e-session at the state fair this sunday morning. I've only gone to the state fair to cheer on the horns and get fat off fried everything and beer, so I'm usually too sad (majority of the last 7 years) or too inebriated (also majority of the last 7 years, har har har) to look for fun, creative shots.

Anybody have suggestions for some cool shots and things to go check out? I need some inspiration! Thanks!!

They had live ice sculpting last weekend. That was cool.

Some quick ideas.....

The Carousel on the Midway.

The Ferris wheel, possible with downtown it the background ?

The walkway in front of the Hall of State, the columns same place.

The swan paddle boats in the lagoon.

The Midway sign on the south side of the cotton bowl.

Trying to win anything on the midway.


No need to thank me, just send a check

Kevin

Oh yea, In front of Big Tex

Long exposures of moving lights are always neat.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by,
and then it petered out and I had to retrace my steps and wasted half a day.

The Fair grounds are a great place to shoot year round.

Probably even better when the fair is not going on.
