Long Exposures at the Kansas State Fair

While visiting the Kansas State Fair I took some long exposure photos that were inspired by a recent Thomas Hawke led photowalk at the Santa Monica Pier. There is an amusement park at the end of the pier, and it was the night-time long exposure photos that really got my attention. Given the opportunity, I tried to do something similar with the rides at the state fair. I had reasonable success, with my 10 favorites shown below; more long exposures from the Kansas State Fair are visible on Flickr. The photos were taken at iso100, f/16 for 5-8 seconds
