I made a visit to the Renaissance Festival this afternoon. I must say that it was one of the best ventures I have made with my camera recently. The people here are amazing. I actually ran out of time before I got all the photos I would like to have done. I spent too much time talking to some of the musicians and artists who were present.

This man was part of a group of three drummers who were plaing for the festival crowd. I didn't photograph the others and I only made this single photo of him. I just thought the kid on the table with the drum was quite intriguing. The drummer was apparently 'babysitting' while he was performing :)

Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L @ 110mm

Post Processing:

I cropped this image slightly from the original composition. I made my normal level and curve adjustments. I removed a zit from the guy's lip also. I converted to grayscale, resized, and added a border.

I thought this was at a Ren Faire. Was it CRF?
Great shot - love the tones and contrast. Very crisp.

Edit: Clarified locale question.

This is a great photo and the only fault is the title. Beautiful picture.

Equisite tones and fascinating subects really push this up to the top of my ribbons list. Focus is right on and this image is very compelling. Love the backlighting too. Very well done. 10

One of my favorites of this challenge. I like the mood, the use of black and white and the border 10

Very good. To nitpick: I don't like the border on top of the crop across his forehead.
If you just left it cropped that way, it would be fine, but adding the border looks odd IMO. I think it drags the viewers eye up to that slice and thats not the best focal point of the picture.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.... Great details to this shot and the treatment is topnotch. Sets a wonderful mood that you can't help smiling at. 9

Very good, one of my favorites of the challenge 10

pretty interesting looking guy. I would have preferred to see him looking into the camera. His expression also seems almost bored or distracted. The little boy however, is certainly entranced.

Priceless :)

Really nice range of tones, I love the picture and the feeling in it. I used to go to drum circles all the time, I haven't been able to find one near where I live now, and I miss them. the child watching the drum really draws you into the feel of the shot. 9 from me

The strongest image in this group! I love the journalistic nature of this shot, as well as the feature you chose to portray. Very very nice.
10/11/2004 09:41:25 AM
Really outstanding portrait of two excellent subjects. Great job.
10/11/2004 06:03:12 AM
Nice photo, the B&W does it justice.
10/11/2004 03:58:52 AM
Well done candid... good expressions.
10/11/2004 12:58:47 AM
This is very nicely taken. I like the black and white. I think showing two subjects for in the frame for this challenge is a little confusing.
