Nice work Mike. Every year I want to go to this but it always conflicts with soccer. The Hammock Weaver is my favorite one.

MRRiley · 09-26-2010, 03:27 PM

I'm thinking about going again the last weekend of the festival... 23-24 October if anyone is interested.

Very nicely done Mike. What lenes were used for these shots. Very sharp images. JIM

This kind of corresponds to our Pawnee Indian Pow-wow. They are enjoyable and good photo opportunities. Culture is a good thing to share.

Great series. Wish we had something of this order in my area.

I'd love to go to a real PowWow... Love to see some photos!

Thanks Oscar! maybe you do... Look up Renaissance Festival (or Fair) online. I don't know about Europe but if you are in the U.S., there are dozens and dozens scattered across the country.

Looks like you had a good time. Love the expression on the girl on stilts. I have always wanted to attend this festival, but never got around to it. Might just go at the end of Oct.

**cdurfor** · 09-28-2010, 06:43 AM

The use of lighting and shade in many of the portraits is quite stunning. Thnx for the peeps...

daacon · 09-28-2010, 06:51 AM

Very cool series Mike, love the knights on horses!

**Sailor** · 09-28-2010, 07:55 AM

Great fun, Mike - every shot. I particularly enjoyed the first one - perfect.

Thanks Tom. It's a fun event. Be great to have you along on the 23rd. Should be much more comfy temps than last weekend.

Thanks Chuck. Most of the site is back in a mature forested area so the light is very shade broken with lots of opportune light shafts.

Thanks Dave. Yeah the mounted knights and jousting demos are very neat.

Thanks Jer. Funny thing is I think many of the actors have been taught to actually stand in the light when possible (almost like spotlights on a stage), which makes shots like that work.

Really good series. Excellent work picking viewpoints and angles to minimize distracting backgrounds.

Master Virginalist- that's a new one 4 me. Had to trek over to google. Great series.
