It's hard to choose what photos to enter into the fair. I have a very crumby camera that pixelates my pictures when I blow them up. Some of my best pictures looked terrible 8 x 10 size. This picture was a last minute choice because at $4 each I did not want to keep printing them just to be disappointed.
Of my 7 photos I entered, I got this blue ribbon! Last year I just got a 4th place...so I'm mov'in on up in the world. I love going to the fair. It brings back so many memories of the farm days in my youth. I guess it is forever engrained.
These guys decided to join the 160th anniversary of the Ashland County Fair. Someone has a lot of imagination with some bales of straw.
This year I had two students with animals at the fair. That was a first for me. My students are not typically in 4-H with the entire building being walking distance from the building. This duck is a bit camera shy. My other student is in the picture I took of her and her pig. (so I decided not to post it)
Great apple pic....congratulations!! Gotta love the Ashland County Fair!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your blue ribbon!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for your ribbon! Good job! I keep thinking of entering, but I would like a new camera and then maybe I could take some great shots. I do have some that my little camera did good with, but again blowing them up to 8x10 changes things. I like the straw pic...I took mine at night and yours is so much nicer! Fair's over, so I guess it's really fall now!
ReplyDeleteBlue ribbon!
ReplyDeleteHurray!!
=D
Imagine Tom's and my surprise to see your apples got a blue ribbon...how nice. However, we thought some of your other pictures were blue ribbon quality as well. Hum...maybe a 2nd job on the sidelines is developing here...LOL!
