What a wonderful place the fair is for photography, as long as you don't mind protecting your camera from screaming munchkins and drunk teenagers every couple of seconds. For this reason, I pretty much just kept to shooting the Ferris Wheel for about ten minutes. Then put my camera back in the car. Which was too bad, because there was also a full moon, and a fireworks show I could have shot. Oh well!

Technique
Three raw exposures taken at -1, 0, +1 EV, tone mapped in photomatix.
