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!

Carsyn’s first day of school a few days late. Th Carsyn’s first day of school a few days late. The teachers say he seems happy to be back. This would technically be his 8th grade but we will probably hold him back a few years in middle school before we move him up to high school. Of course they are “virtual” tomorrow and possibly Friday because of the hurricane/tropical storm. Then Labor Day on Monday. So he probably won’t be back again until Tuesday.
Dustyn started 10th grade on Monday! Only 2 more f Dustyn started 10th grade on Monday! Only 2 more first day of school photos to go. 😭

He committed to working out and bulking this Summer and made some huge gains. Swipe to see his last day of school photo in June. We are so proud of him.

Prestyn’s last day vs first day. Another one tha Prestyn’s last day vs first day. Another one that needs a hair cut and he has been bugging me about it. 🤣 Didn’t really notice how long it was until I compared it to the other photo. Prestyn had a great year and has made some amazing friends. He can’t wait to start 2nd grade next year.

Carsyn went through a rough time at school, losing his best friend in the classroom, and losing one of his favorite teachers but he has done amazing adjusting.
