Last year I posted a shot of the fair on Torquay sea front reflected in the water and, while generally well received, James (jimsphotography) did make the very valid suggestion that "If you think you have now found the right spot might I be forward enough to suggest you repeat the exercise ( when you can) but a bit earlier - at the point just after sunset when a right exposure brings up a nice dark blue sky rather than a jet black one."
This was very reasonable it's just that the "when I can" meant waiting a year for the fair to come back.
Here's tonights attempts - set back more with a wider view to include that nice, deep blue sky:

Moderate zoom:

And another zoomed it for more detail (but less sky):

This is still quite a challenge as the fair lights are very bright componded by a few spots aimed directly at the camera but, provided they're still on the green tomorrow, I'll go back for another session. Otherwise it's wait until next year
Cheers,
John
