Fun at the Fun Fair

There are certain shots that every photographer craves to capture one day, like a sort of bucket list. It’s usually because of a lack of accessibility or opportunity and for me I have finally ticked one off my list.

 
Smeatons Tower, Plymouth Hoe - try to ignore all the litter left by people watching the fireworks.

Thanks to the well know “sods law’ that seems to effect everyone fun fairs only ever seem to run near me at awkward times. Either the weather is tipping it down and I don’t think the rain is worth braving for the shot or I am running my own event that means I am so tired I cant face going.

This year following the Plymouth Fireworks Championships we continued walking along the seafront up to Hoe where an array of colourful rides were lit up and running. I could have spent a bit longer getting more shots but limited with a young tired little boy I spent 10 minutes getting these images before heading back to base camp (brothers flat) for the night.

Thanks for reading and looking and see you for the next post!
