Some pictures from a Renaissance Fair in So Cal

I'm not sure if these are even fit to post here :blushing: I'm not a professional, I take pictures for the love of doing it. Once in a while, I'll get a small paying gig which I typically get over excited and spend WAY too much time for what the client pay me. Most of the time, I just do it to learn. I have no professional training so please do take easy on the new guy...

Most of these pictures were taken using my old Fujifilm S2 Pro 6.2mp using Nikkor 18-105mm 1:3.5-5.6 VR lens, ISO 400, aperture priority at f/5.6 . I just got a D7000 a couple of days ago so the Fujifilm will be my back up camera. I'm still trying to get the D7000 to behave the way I want it to, not there yet but I will.... eventually I hope... :mrgreen:

Nothing wrong with your shots at all; they're nicely exposed, focused... of course there's always room for improvement, but that's true of everyone. One suggestion I will offer for future events is to try and get more of the people, that is, concentrate on the whole person, not just the head.

Thanks!!! I did take some full body pictures but they felt a bit "empty" compare to the festive mood of the surrounding.

Looking good! Very nice colors! I definitely like the full body shots more than the first set. You get more of the "feel" of the fair, it's not just some random photo shoot.
