In 2009 we went to the Renaissance Festival in Plantersville, when I used the Fujifilm 7000 and posted favorites from April 8 - May 5, 2010. Back in October we went again, this time bringing the Big Cahoona. I didn't feel that the pics would turn out as well, but was surprised at being able to keep a couple dozen good enough for posting in this blog.I did have to throw away a vast majority, as the exposure compensation was set on the wrong side of zero and most were too bright. Once I discovered my mistake things started to look up.
I will begin by posting the myriad characters - from the "regulars" such as this guy, to some of the performers, to the spectators that dress the part - that make up the odd culture of folks that participate in the festival. This being only our second year to attend, it was still unique and fresh enough to be interesting. The bright and varied colors everywhere made for some good photography. On top of that, we brought some folks fresh from Taiwan, and it's always interesting to see how Asians react to the sights and sounds and oddities that are seen everywhere...
