Order of the Marshal VARF Demo
« on: 2013-06-09, 13:26:33 »
I was able to shoot a few of the demos yesterday (8 June 2013) at VARF.  I selected 38 photos that came out reasonably well and posted them on the album, the entire set is up to view on Flickr and can be seen here

http://www.flickr.com/photos/68089438@N05/sets/72157634022355343/

Here is a sampling of some of the shots.  On the last show of the day we did some cutting demos on some villainous French cabbages!  There are also some good shots of the Blossfechten and Harnessfechten demos.

Those pics look awesome, I seriously need to move down there so I can join you guys. Your camera captures it quite well too, looks almost like some scenes out of medieval movies in a way.

Thank you all!  It was a blast getting to take them!  I realized after I left though how stupid I was for never getting a shot with all of us!  Doh!

lol, that reminded me of one of my favorite quotes from the 1992 movie version of 'Last of the Mohicans',  ;)

the French haven't the nature for war. Their Gallic laziness combines with their Latinate voluptuousness with the result that they would rather eat and make love with their faces than fight.

SO I’ve been thinking, dreaming and scheming. What if we expanded next year’s demo to include some additional weaponry? – If we can convince the VARF Entertainer director to again make us the last act of the day for the joust field we can have an expanded show to demonstrate other weapons and even additional duels with perhaps…
…
Wait for it…
…
Poleaxes!  ;D

What do you all think?
