Some portraits while at the fair

Some candid portraits while at VAlley Fair. I also recently installed the trial version of Lightroom 3.4 and i think this is the first software I'll purchase for post production. Oh, don't mind the watermark. I was just checking out how it would look. #4 definitely didn't seem so dark at home while editing. I'll have to check that out tonight.

Thanks for the kind words.

Lil Jacob(my son) can get quite serious at times!

After editing all these I found a whole list of B&W treatment presets in lightroom, I will have to check them out.

Aww the fair is for adults as much as children. Have you been to a Six Flags Amusement park? Valley fair is a scaled down version of the big parks out there.

Me, I go for the mini doughnuts, and rollercoasters/big rides. It may seem strange but I get very relaxed during the rides. Especially the big drops! I may be the only one not screaming, and occasionally I'll shut my eyes and focus on the feelings of gravity and g-forces.
 
some portraits at the fair part 2

I'll keep em going!

Thanks for looking and sharing.

Jake, lucky you.

Yes I have been to Six Flags but not around the Twin Cities.

The last time I was there, in MN, they were going to poke things in my brain to see if blood was reaching there.

I guess they found out ( a panel of 3 experts ) that indeed it was. I would have told them that without 3 days in a hospital. The female medical staff were gorgeous. That' all I remember. Six Flags was not on my
mind :)

Take care.

So sorry to hear your time spent here, in splendid Minnesnowta, was at the hospital. Was the hospital the reason for your stay here?

And yes there is nothing like a beautifull female nurse to help you get through the pain! A handsome male for the ladies as well!
