No, I wasn’t storm chasing, although I would totally do that, instead I spent the evening at the Harvest Homecoming which is our annual fall festival. I am going to go more this weekend but I went down tonight to specifically take photos of the rides since it isn’t as crowded through the week as it is on the weekend.
This is a shot of a ride called The Tornado and I did and HDR rendering of it. I quite like it, it almost looks surreal to me and I think that is why I like it. I love the motion and the saturated colors. I have some other shots of the rides that I will eventually share but this is the one that caught my eye for the night. Enjoy!

This is very cool.
Sheesh is seems so late in the year to have a festival like this. Must be so much fun.
It is our October festival that we have every year, warm or cold people come out for it lol
And thank you for the comment!
I love it! It looks like an old-fashioned painting or drawing.
Why thank you ma’am!
Excellent! I love the colors, the sense of motion. Perfectly captured!
Thank you so much Laura!
Turned out great, love the colors and motion!
Thank you 🙂 I went back and forth after I posted it wasn’t sure I like it.
Your title for this gave me a bit of a startle, lol. Too close to the other kind twice this summer here(have to say I wouldn’t mind doing the chasing thing either, but in a wide open field away from homes). Glad to see it is the fun tornado 🙂 Great capture of light and motion, oh and FUN.
Oh yes, I don’t think I could handle the destruction, I am to empathetic lol.
And thank you for the compliment of the photo 🙂
Whoa I feel sick just looking at it! 🙂 Great picture! Did you actually ride this one?
I love the motion in the shot… definitely shows the power of the machine. Glad you’re having fun at the festival!!!
I did not ride it 🙂 But I love rides. I seem to remember trying to get you on a ride for my birthday and you refused LOL!
i love this shot! i’m drawn to all the colors and the swirlyness of it 🙂
and yes. i make up my own words. all the time.
Awesome! It looks like some kind of alien space craft!
