Anyone wanna go shoot the carnival?

[Daylon]

There's one of those little mobile carnivals in the parking lot at 635 / Tollway - roughly the Preston exit -

Was thinking about going down there and shooting some slow shutter speed stuff once it gets dark and they fire up the lights on the rides..

Sorry for the late posting, but just saw them on the way back from Richardson - I have a rented 10.5mm fisheye, so I thought i'd head out there and shoot a few frames.

Anyone game? Maybe grab a beer afterwards?

Sure, can I borrow your fisheye!

[Daylon]

Sure, why not.

[thedaddymike]

What time are you thinking?
We are in the process of getting a boxer puppy, so I am not sure when I could get out that way.

[Daylon]

I'm gonna head over there about 7:30 - 8ish

hopefully they'll let me walk around with a tripod - we'll see.

Gimme a holler if you make it over that way - (or ifanyone else wants to meet up)

they will.. there is no entrance fee.. and its open to the public.. just walk right on in. I'll call you here shortly.. I can meet up with you at 8

[thedaddymike]

Bobby- you have a Nikon? I can bring my VR lens, good til about 1/10 - 1/8 sec

[thedaddymike]

How would I get there if I'm coming from the Grapevine area?

[Bobby C 01TA]

Nope.. I started out with Nikon ./. d50 and d70s and then switched.. My 28-70 is a 2.8 and the 10-20 is a 3.5-4.5 i think.. I have pretty still hands and have done pretty good in the past shooting the state fair.. I'm excited about this. I keep on forgetting to stop by though lol. If anyone else is going and cant reach Daylon, you can call me as well.. I should be there around 8 or 815 tops! I may just bring both bodies but no tripod or flash

if you get on 635, go east towards Dallas.. I would take the preston exit, stay on the left and make a U turn like you are getting back on the hwy.. it will be on your right hand side on the service road in the Valley View Mall parking lot. This carnival is one of the bigger parking lot carnivals I have seen! Lots of rides, lights and colors!

Cool! On my way now
