Here's a couple more photos from my trip to RenFest Saturday before last. I thought this couple did an extraordinary job of dressing in authentic Renaissance period dress.

No light on a stick? I think the gentleman could have used a little light under the hat to better show his eyes and eliminate the slight shadow under it. Nice job on the exposure and composition. Good color too.
Thanks Doug!
I had technical problems with the light on a stick when I shot these two. We were on our way out at the time so I didn't bother trying to troubleshoot the light rig. At least it was reliable the rest of the day! :-)

Aahhh, now I understand. I knew you had it with you. I still like the available light shot on the man. It has a lot of character.
I like both of these portraits, but I do wish that you had taken one of them together. They seem to be a very compatible couple. Nice job with both shots.
Thanks Doug and Patrick!
Patrick - I did want to photograph them together but that was a drawback of sticking with the 50mm lens. Once I connected with a subject I didn't want to back away to compose a photo and risk losing the connection. This happened at least twice that I can remember.
Cheers!
