2011 Branch County Fair
A few photos. . . as usual, I took more photos of objects than of people, except when I was helping with 4-H and walking around with my niece and nephew. Maybe I'll put up some of those photos later.
Sunny Morning
Although it did storm a little during the week, overall there was pretty nice weather. I took several pictures of the concession stand flags against the sky.
The Skywheel
That's okay. . . I'll just stay down here and take some photos. . .
Tractor in the sun
This was taken with my Kodak "pocket camera." I took a lot of closeups of the tractors with the Nikon, trying to capture the heart of each machine while only showing a few pieces of it.
And another one. . .
They had everything from Oliver tractors to Cockshutt tractors from Canada at the fair. I think the IH/ Farmalls were some of the best to photograph, although the Massey-Harris collection was also impressive.
Ferris Wheel with Moon
Jan, the head of the fair, offered to let me use the Ferris wheel, having them stop when I was at the top, to get pictures. I decided it wasn't really my style. . .yeah, that's what it was.
