This is the one tag and daily challenge that I always make a point of joining, and also look through the posts of others that join the challenge and seeing markets from all around the world.

For this weeks post, after last week where I actually shared what could easily be considered a Market, I am perhaps stretching what is a market a little.

I have for every year except last year for about 5 years now gone to a charity event hosted by the Connecticut Epilepsy Advocate, which does so much to support people with Epilepsy and holds this annual event called Strike Out Epilepsy, and I go and get shots of the event for them.

This year the Bowling alley had changed hands and quite a few changes had taken place, including moving the arcade into the middle of the lanes, and the lighting was a lot darker than it had been before, which made getting shots of the people at the event very challenging but I managed to get about 70 shots which I shared with the organizer and he seemed happy with them.

But I digress from market Friday, and let me get back to that, these shots are of the Amusement aracade int he bowling Ally, which may be a stretch of the term Market, but I know from the times I have taken my Grandkids to an Amusement Arcade like this its not cheap anymore and one does need to dig into one's waller, so since spending money is involved I am considering this a market for kids

Many of these shots that I am sharing were taken at ISO6400 which I would have never thought about trying with my older camera, and infact there was more light in the arcader are, most of the shots taken of the people bowling were at either 10K or 12,8K ISO because the light was so bad, now you may think I could have used a flash, but that was not an option as flashing lights can affect people with epilepsy, so I do not take a flash to this event.

This next shot is not of the Arcade itself but a big sign for it beside the bowling lanes, I guess its good marketing, if the kids miss seeing the bright and flashing alley when they walk into the Bowling lanes, the perhaps wont miss this bright ARCADE sign while bowling and have to ask there parents if they can time in the Arcade after the bowling is over

Here you can see some of the machines in the arcade, I remember when I was young going to an Amusement arcade when I was young and when I think back to that I think of two things that have changed so much, how much more expensive these are these days, and how high tech and glitzy the machines, are, I remember int he arcade I used to go to the big thing was the huge Slot car track with about 15 lanes of cars you could race.
