Carnival Lights

This photo was taken late at night at a small town fair. While walking around the place, I came across this really cool booth. What caught my attention were this bright, flickering lights. They reminded me of the kind of lights that you would see on an old fashioned theatre where they would show what movies were playing that day. I decided to put a little spin on things because a quick snapshot wasn’t gonna do it for me.

I decided to twirl my Leica X1 and did my best to focus on one center light. That took quite a few tries 🙂   Out of several shots, this image was my best capture. In my post-processing I decided to apply a 60s/70s preset with film grain and everything to create the right color tones that would fit the old-fashion mood I was going for.
