Shoot at State Fair this Sunday...HELP!

[jasonhuang]

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

Oh yea, In front of Big Tex

Long exposures of moving lights are always neat.

haha, kevin. thanks for the suggestions! those are great. i like the ferris wheel one. i guess i never thought of these since i'm just overwhelmed by the size of the fair the endless possibilities. i just wanted to make sure i got some of the important ones!

stephen, the shoot is in the morning. won't be too many moving lights. :-)

I've never been to the State Fair, but man, that sounds like a great place to do an e-session! The possibilities are endless! Have fun! Please post the shots!

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

Probably even better when the fair is not going on.
