Below are some of the horse fence photos I took in Richfield, Wisconsin at a white 4-rail Buckley Steel Board Fence install. This is a top-of-the-line horse fence my Dad invented.
You can see all of the photos in the album.
Wisconsin State Fair Photos
I went to the last Saturday of the Fair this August, and brought along my camera to take some Wisconsin State Fair Photos. Even onto the rides. I broke my 5D3 to the lightest form I could, which included just using the light “plastic fantastic” Canon 50mm f/1.8.
After taking the above photo, the guy with his thumbs up (lower left), who I didn’t know, asked if I got him in the shot.
When I took the photo I didn’t realize he had his thumb up, but when I quickly reviewed it, my eye was immediately drawn to him.
He took a look at the photo and declared that it’s going to go viral.
I won’t be angry if he’s right 😛
The above photo is from one of the barns, at a coloring station for kids. I immediately thought this was hilarious.
The part that really gets me is that whoever colored this colored in one of the adults jeans, and then was like “screw this,” scribbling out the parents and sibling.
SKYFLYER PHOTOS
So this ride called “Skyflyer” was like a standard swing-ride on steroids.
It definitely didn’t seem super safe, and we actually had to come back down after initial lift-off as someone was panicking.
But it certainly was exhilarating and got some great views of the fair.
HORSE AND COW COMPETITIONS
And some more fun at the Fair…
The Wisconsin State Fair was already more than 2 weeks ago, and it sure makes you realize how fast summer is flying by. Was a great time and makes me wish I could make those moments last forever.
Waupaca Boatride Photos
I played in the Waupaca Boatride Volleyball tournament in mid-July. It’s one of the biggest volleyball events, and is held annually in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. I took the below photos after playing sand doubles and Friday and before playing grass triples on Saturday.

Fireworks Photos
Took some fireworks photos of Festa Italiana’s display during the last night of the fest July 2014. Taken from the water just outside of the Lake Shore Park launch area, downtown Milwaukee on LakeMichigan. As well as of the Big Bang from near the War Memorial and Milwaukee Art Museum.

The people on the boat in front of us seemed to have a great and romantic time:

Spring Sunset in Downtown Milwaukee
During one of our first spring-like April days in Milwaukee, I ventured to the lakefront for a few minutes during sunset. Took some stills with my 5dmk3 and processed them in Lightroom.
Downtown Milwaukee. Plus excellent use of foreground. Also, clouds.
Not sure what this plant is. But it’s backlit.
Not sure the official term on the “leaves” here, so I called them “Whisps.”
Downtown Milwaukee. Plus trees that haven’t decided it’s spring yet.
