Stamford Mid Lent Fair

Earlier in the week I spent an evening at Stamford Mid Lent Fair (thanks Jo for organising).  This is quite the biggest travelling fair I have seen and seemed to range over most of the town.  I particularly like fairs for the opportunities they give for light trail pictures.  However, since we went on opening night, business was fairly light and many of the rides spent more time drumming up punters than actually running.  So, I intermixed the light trail shots with a few 'on the fly' candid shots, particularly of the fast food stalls.  All of these shots were taken with my Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens, which is very useful for both purposes.

Ribblehead

These pictures of a trip to Ribblehead in the Yorkshire Dales have sat on the hard-drive for a few weeks, whilst I have been caught up with other things.  The light on this day wasn't the best.  This and the rather bleak landscape favoured a mono treatment of the images.
