The day following our visit to Waddesdon Manor, Jena, Natalia and I went along to see the jousting at Hedingham Castle. The event was a family and children oriented affair, but we went along to have a look and get some shots. I had covered a joust before, and, as it was then, jousting was quite difficult to capture from our position, and getting crisp shots was a bit of a struggle. Nevertheless, I managed to eke out what you see here. There was also some staged sword fighting as part of the whole show. The castle has some interesting interiors and lighting conditions, so we also took advantage of that too. The falconry was a little disappointing, in that no one was apparently able to have a photo taken with the birds of prey (despite the invitation to do so), and during the display in the main arena, the birds kept going AWOL and the PA system wasn't working.Other than that, an interesting photo excursion.

You got some great shots. I love all the motion (and emtion even with a helmet on) and colors. All of the jousts here in Maryland or in Pennsylvania have fences around them and it's so hard to get a decent shot. I'm starting to plan my next trip to visit my son and their August Joust in now on my list.

Thanx Sabrina! Hopefully you'll get some great shots! :)
