Your documentation of the Decatur County Fair is a real pleasure to browse through. It's a bigger, brighter fair than the ones we had in my home county in the 1940s and '50s; but, the shape of it is familiar to me. It's encouraging to see local events planned and carried out proudly. Maybe I missed it, but I'm wondering what gear you were using-- very effective.
I just had my Nikon P7700 with me, Bill. I figured it was the most effective for going indoors and out, and dealing with florescent lights. Plus, it was much lighter than hauling out an SLR.
I've just reviewed your 6-part series. You certainly captured a lot of local color. Speaking of color, your parts 1 and 6 were gorgeous. I particularly enjoyed seeing all the food stalls in part 6.
It was also good to see a strong 4-H component in part 2. My bride and I were active in 4-H for more than 10 years, and I have great respect for what the movement does for young people.
Phil, I've enjoyed following along with this. I lived in Indiana when I was a kid, spent a lot of time at the county and state fairs. This brings back memories. Thanks.
