The Hoppings at Newcastle Town Moor. Europe's largest travelling fair.

K3, Samsung 12-24 and Haida 10 stopper. Any C&C welcome. I'm not overly concerned about the moire, as it seems ok at full size

These are stunning Alan. Exposures spot-on, also that Haida is rather good isn't it? How do they do it for the money? I must give mine a run out, it's a while since I used it. Favourites? First and fourth ones.

Theses are really original and imaginative, the third and last ones are my favourites. I passed by there last week but unfortunately it was a mid week morning.

All excellent and not an easy environment for long exposures.

Who said the K-3 was no good for poor light

Love these. The moire in the first gives the impression it's still moving as I scroll the page

Great pictures. Inspiring.

Sometimes I'm serious and sometimes not, but I consider sarcasm an artform. Which is it today?

Thanks for all the great feedback. Last time I tried this was about 20 years ago, on Kodachrome, I think.

I have a problem with #1. The top of the wheel is very close to the edge of the frame. I'm useless at photoshop, but I'll have to see if I can add to the canvas
