All the Fun of the Fair #1

Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 20 April 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture.

This was taken yesterday at the Links Market in Kirkaldy, which is seemingly the largest street fair in Europe. It was windy as hell, but nice and sunny, which allowed for some colourful pics. Also, for a challenge, all my shots over the day were taken with my 50mm prime lens, which was a nice change!

As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)
