These are photos I took at the State Fair of Texas this past weekend. I genuinely love going to this fair, it's such a fun and exciting atmosphere. If want to see more photos, I posted a lot more on my website here: https://matthewtrader.com/2026-state-fair-of-texas-photos-of-people-immersed-in-the-chaos
Shot this on W 58th & 7th, corner of Alwyn Court / Petrossian. 1909 building, still one of the most detailed in Midtown and almost empty at 2pm.
I was waiting for the light to turn red to get the crossing blur — the two guys in white walked through at the same time by luck.
Body: Canon R6 w/ 24-70mm f4 lens
Settings: ~1/15s, f/8, ISO 100 — handheld, no tripod
Grade: kept it desaturated, left the red traffic light as the only warm pop
Happy to share the RAW crop of the dragons if anyone wants it.
