Friday Night Photos County Fair Edition pt3

Happy Friday everyone. Welcome to Friday Night Photos your once a week escape from the day to day insanity of the world we live in. Post any photos, memes, music or whatever else you find of interest that helps tune out the madness.

While not quite as popular as the pig races, The Flying Royals trapeze act draws it's far share people to their performances. According to troop leader, April, all the members (other than the 2 young boys) are collage graduates. I wonder what type of degree you need to become a member of a trapeze act? I also want to know what these guys eat, cuz I don't see a spare ounce of fat on any of them.

This is April the troop leader. The gentleman at the bottom of the image holding the rope is whipping it around in a circle so April is also spinning around in a circle.

When shooting action sequences I set the shutter release button to continuous release which I have set for 10 frames a second. It doesn't take long before you've shot 4-5 hundred frames.

I guess the real work is going through all those images.

Without a lot of experience and understanding of photography, even a high falutin camera will fail in others hands.

I shot 1649 total frames from 3 days at the fair. It didn't take too long to sort through them. Editing them on the other hand took much longer.

Just seeing your photos is exciting. They're wonderful. Being there must have been even more thrilling. The acrobats must have something safe to land on if they fall?

The Crescent moon and Venus performing another type of duet in the sky this week

@Socialprogressive jb, King wrote that song as a commercial songwriter. That’s how she got her start in American popular music. Capitalism, you know. Ugh! The Drifters were the band that made it an iconic hit. Anyway, your and Sp’s ABFAB images always make my day. Sp, just the fact that those folk kept themselves in fabulous great shape to pull off those stunts speaks mountains. Your photos capture it. I only wish I could even approximate their physical condition. In my dreams. LOL

They did have a net for when they didn't have the timing quite right, which was a few times.
Nice use of the trees and mountain to frame Venus and the Moon.
