Wandering And Exploring

Booger Red's Saloon in Ft. Worth Texas

The last time I was in Ft. Worth Texas, I decided just to wander around the Stockyards area to see what interesting I could find.  I saw a sign for "Booger Red's" saloon.  The name sounded as though it would be an interesting place so I opened the door and walked in to see what could be found inside.

What I found was what looked like a cowboy bar equipped with saddle barstools and all of the other accoutrements that would be expected.  I looked around, asked the bartender if she minded if I made a few images, then did so.  Interesting place.

In this case, I was using a Nikon D200 with an inexpensive 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 kit lens.  The image was shot at ISO 1600, 18mm, 1/20th second @ f/3.5, in other words under really poor conditions especially when you think of the state of digital photography in 2006 when I made this image.

Lesson learned:  If you see something that may be interesting, pursue it.  Take a chance.  Don't pass by.  You may find some worthwhile images.


Many of my images can be found at www.dennismook.com.  Please pay it a visit.  I add new images regularly. I've just added a gallery featuring all M4/3 images.  Soon, I will be adding a gallery of all Fuji X-Trans images. Thank you.

Thanks for looking.  Enjoy!
