The intricate details on this belly dancer’s costume caught my eye about eighteen months ago, so I asked permission to shoot a close-up, to capture the scores of golden beads and shimmering discs. She grinned and sportingly told me to go ahead – but I had no inkling of what she had in mind! As I hit the trigger, she began to perform, shaking brilliantly even though there was no music playing. I was about to ask her to stop, but I then realised she had given me the most natural shot of any belly dancer. So because I didn’t change the speed, not everything is in crisp focus – but it’s a completely authentic depiction of swift, rhythmic movement. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F8, 1/180sec, ISO 200, focal length 125mm.

Brute Utes! by Peter Redmond

Taken at the 2009 Royal Geelong Show. These two Ford & Holden utes has a series of races around the Arena. / I am sorry to say, but the Holden won all three races, I think it had something to do with the better driver, because we all know the XR8 ute, is such a better car! :-) 5DMKII / ISO 2500 / f.4 / 1/30th Shutter

About This Group

we are all big kids at heart and nothing says that more than a trip to the fair, coconuts and candyfloss neon lights and fast spinning rides. So come on and add your pictures of and around the whole experience that is the fun fair.
From a technical front, blur and motion capture looks great especially when neon light is involved. Similarly candid shots of people and the variety of emotions that a trip to the fair can evoke are also wanted, additionally images of the seedier side, behind the scenes including people who work and own fairs.
