This shot was actually taken from pretty far back using a Sigma 70-300mm. The lighting and distance made shooting his performance beyond difficult, but I managed to get a few decent shots out of the batch.
This shot surprised me, as I was just going to duck through the walkway under the grandstand to look for a bathroom on the other side. The colors and angles just struck me.
I got down on my belly in the dirt for this shot. I think it worked out for me pretty well, and I'm going to see if I can repeat when I go to another fair at the end of the month (barring any more camera calamities).
