Battle of Hastings Re-enactment
I attended English Heritage's annual re-enactment of the Battle of Hastings in order to obtain some relevant photos for the final TAOP assigment. It was a pretty impressive scene, with hundreds of actors in period dress with period weapons doing a convincing job. I took two cameras and four lenses, changing lenses at lunchtime. One of the problems was finding places to stand that had a clear view through the large crowds without being too selfish about it. In retrospect, I would take a powerful telephoto on a monopod to pick out key pieces of action, much of which took place several hundred yards away. As it was, I felt I'd bagged an acceptable set of photos, some of which would be suitable for the final assignment. The previous visit I'd made to the site a couple of weeks ago paid off, as I knew my way around.
