Saturday, October 21, 2006 PHOTO PAGE
This re-enactor was riding down the road and I asked if I could take his photo. Realizing the sun was behind him he offered to re-pose so I could get a better photograph. The camera still got too many shadows, but you can see the difference between what I like to call an 'atmospheric' shot with sun behind and 'atmospheric shot' with sun in front. |

Re-enacting is a family affair. Lots of little kids in crisp uniforms or dresses. In the shops area, the vendors sold everything from shoes and bolts of cloth to hats to reproduction weapons. |
