In September and October, you may remember, we visited a few country fairs of various kinds. Although I try to concentrate on what's going on - or at least the bits that interest me - I also occasionally like to play around with small details of the scene. It might be a fragment of an ornate mechanical organ, a steam engine, a rusty tractor or the fairground rides. Here's a small selection....
Take care.
You have a great eye John - lovely collection of pleasing images.
ReplyDeleteI love your eye for quirky detail.
ReplyDeleteThe difference between an excellent photographer (you) and a poor one (me) I would never even think of taking photos of parts of something, but they are so interesting
ReplyDeleteThe devil is in the detail as they say. You had a keen eye, John.
ReplyDeleteFscinating pictures John. Especially like the snippet of what looks to me like a bit of the "Flying Chairs" - gosh that brings back memories of 80 years ago when The Fair came to the South Common in Lincoln. Those were the days!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. You've spotted some wonderful details on your visits:)
ReplyDeleteHow fun to see, John. Thanks for these closeups of the colorful details.
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting look when you concentrate on details.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like just about everything had a coat of fresh paint on it! I loved seeing the horses' names on them!
ReplyDeleteGreat examples of some lovely details. Good eye, John.
ReplyDeleteThese are hidden beauty in these signs!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun to me!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful colors and patterns. There is art in surprising places sometimes.
ReplyDeleteOh. These are so nice. You do have a good eye.
ReplyDeleteColorful “Less is More” art. You have a mastery of capturing details.
ReplyDeleteI found David's remark interesting because I'd always heard it that 'God is in the details'. I love these pictures. Are the horses on the Merry-go-rounds here named? I shall have to pay more attention.
ReplyDeleteYou really are a great photographer.
I love this post, John. We should all be as observant as you are.
ReplyDeleteSuch events are wonderful for capturing details. You noticed some interesting things.
ReplyDeleteFirst thing I drove was a Fordson Major, I was around 15 at the time
ReplyDeleteJohn, it is often the little details that are most amazing vs. the overall image. This was a wonderful and very colorful selection.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely. You have a great eye for finding the little details, John. My friend Jocelyn has the same ability. We can stand side by side photographing and I'm always amazed at what she has seen and photographed.
ReplyDeleteExcellent detail shots.
