Renaissance Fair

Toast95135 · Apr 15, 2007

Im doing a documentary with a classmate on the Renaissance Fair in southern california, and I brought along the D80.

The jousting shots were done with a borrowed (and absolutely amazing) 80-200mm VR Nikkor, and the people shots were using my 50mm 1.8 Nikkor.

I really like them all. Great series.

All of them are really sharp too. Nice work. Looks like that VR lense did it's job.

Thirteen and fifteen are definitely my favourites. They're the moments most people won't see, and I think that's what makes them so special.

The entire series is beautiful, however.

okay, I just may have to watch the documentary, as I know zilch about renaissance fairs and I'm slightly intrigued... I think... that is fake blood, right?

My favorites are #3 and #15.

These are beautiful! Very crisp. I really have to make it to one of these this year. But.. the crowds!

Beautiful work. Which three would you pick out of all of them?

Nice shots, #17...why does he have a chimney on his head?

You got some good stuff. I missed the Joust to the Death. I'm planning to go back.

If you saw some students with a Sony HDV, giant Bogen tripod, sound equipment etc, that was us =P. I was the hispanic/filipino guy either shooting video or using the D80.
