Carnival Photo Tips

Filed Under: Photography, Tutorials Tagged With: photography tips

Friday night we headed out to Suffolk Peanut Festival. I was able to take my camera and tripod and get some fun Carnival photos. I had been wanting to take photos like this for a long time. I thought I would share some Carnival Photo Tips in case you ever want to try to capture some fun photos.

This is pretty similar to my Fireworks tips because I used a tripod, used bulb setting with remote. I had an ISO setting of 100. Used my Sigma 17-70mm lens at f/29. The only thing I had to do to these photos is darken them because the sky was a little too bright. I like the dark sky against the lights better.

This was so cool. I held the shutter open for different lengths of time. It was cool to see the different effects you could get. I did a lot of experimenting and learned a few things. Practice is always such a great learning experience.

  

I love this shot! One of my favorites. Great ferris wheel shot and a good view of the other things at the carnival.

Love these three different photos and the color changes you can see.

Icecream anyone? Another one of my favorites.

Oh I want a funnel cake and a fried oreo. Should have gotten one but I was trying to be good. I love that I captured some of the people at the carnival. Would be boring without anyone there. 

Another angle of the ferris wheel.

    So we went to the fair last week but I didn't have my tripod. :( I tried to get pretty dark sky shots, but I was too shaky. I still got some nice ones though. Thanks for sharing these! I'm glad y'all had fun! :)

    Just love these shots!! Trying to shoot at a carnival at night was on my photography bucket this this summer but it just didn't happen. We didn't get to go to the county fair here either because we were on vacation the weekend it was here. Last weekend was rainy and a bust. There is always next year. Loving these tips. Thanks!

Beautiful beach day. Got a little hot at one point Beautiful beach day. Got a little hot at one point and the water was too cold for me to get in but just kept dipping my feet in the water to cool down. Unfortunately I got a terrible headache in the afternoon so had to cut the trip a little short. Next time I need to remember to bring medicine. Not sure what’s been going on lately but the last few days I have gotten headaches in the afternoon.

Ariel singing and dancing. She asked me to put red Ariel singing and dancing. She asked me to put red hair color in her hair so she could be Ariel 🧜‍♀️. The red from the front is already going away. Swipe to see her singing a song. Also, the last photo is of the banana bread I made yesterday. Check my reels for the recipe. So good.

Happy 4th Birthday Annelyn Jane. 

Also, side note. This balloon gave me so much trouble. The first one I bought got lost at her birthday party because a kid was running through the park and got his arm stuck on the string and away it flew. So I ordered another one to be delivered today and the package came sliced. So I had to put a bunch of tape on it and I still had to be quick with photos because it kept losing air. 🤦🏻‍♀️
