The Hoppings.
Nigel. No special permission
As to exposures. I wanted to keep everything simple, so I set shutter speed to 30 secs and aperture to f8. Did a test in TAv mode, which I think was a couple of stops under exposed. So made the exposure adjustment. Then just shot away in TAv, letting the ISO float
At 10pm at a funfair you get people coming up and throwing a pose in front of the camera. With a 30 sec exposure, you can afford to smile and give a thumbs up knowing they'll be off in 2 secs and they won't register in the end image
Have not been to the Hoppings since I was about 19 and drunk and ended up in the boxing ring,managed to get hit with 10 lucky punches

Hi Bill
All done at dusk, so the lights have the desired impact.
Processing done in lightroom. Just tweaking levels generally, and setting white balance
And then using Grad filters on the top and on the bottom when necessary. Also using Spot adjustment brush to tweak levels locally
