Serious Beardage - The Vikings are coming!

[Bend The Light]

Went to a Viking event today, at Tutbury Castle near Burton on Trent. I spent most of the time shooting the re-enactors.

Some serious beardage!

I think Gillette stock just dropped another ten points just from you posting these.

That first one is really really great (as are the others but that's the one that sticks out the most). Love the processing as well.

Viking4 is my favorite.

As soon as I retire I am going for this look.

As a bearded person and somewhat amateurish photographer I appreciate these for both their content and your photographic skills. Awesome!
Oh! And #5 for me.

Ha ha...good looking fellas, eh?

I like the shouty one too...he was calling "Marthaaaaaa", presumably the wife.

He was the boss man...looked straight at me, and that made that shot. I like it as well...thanks.

#1, 4, and 5 are the strongest shots for me. They are extremely good on their own merits. The others work okay "in series."

Really like #5, I might move him a little off center but that is just nitpicking :thumbup:
