    The fairground has arrived in Maynooth. I saw it setting up when I was getting off the train and then saw the lights on yesterday. Went home and came back later with the camera and got these...

    I really like that second shot, how long was the exposure?

    Thanks. It was 4 seconds at f/11. It's a pity that there were some dead bulbs on the wheel which is why there are black "bars" on it.

    I like them both, lovely images:).

    I actually think the missing bulbs give the second one a bit more 'character'.

    Does the top one need a bit of straightening? The camera may have been dead level but my brain is perceiving it as a bit off due to some of the lines, I'd like to see the right hand side raised a little. I think I'd crop out the lamp post and its's reflection on the left if I was being picky as I find them a bit distracting and don't really add to the composition.

    Very nice long exposures. Fairgrounds are always fun for long exposures. It just takes some practice and time.
