Lords and ladies - here is the place to share the special moments in time that you have procured on your magick box during the TRF 2010 season.
In order to accomodate our members with slower connection speeds, please limit your posted photos to 3 or 4 per page. Each page on the R/F forum contains up to 15 posts, so you will be able to share more pictures when the next page of the thread is started. (If you post your photos in 2 or 3 separate messages, the pages will fill and change faster, and then you will be able to share more). Links to your photos may be posted at any time.
Everyone has had different experiences at faire, so if possible, try to share who is in the photo or where it was taken. Our grand faire is so large that hardly anyone gets to see all the shows, meet all of the wonderful cast, or visit all the shoppes.
It would be great if any of you who are able to visit before opening day could share some photos of rehearsals, renovations on shoppes, improvements to the grounds etc. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again and capturing some more of the magic at the greatest faire on earth.
My tent flooded last week, so here are pictures of me getting some "justice"...

hehehe, beating the tent :D New Rennie sport ;)
Blue so was it just flooded or did it get really messed up before you got mad at it?
Our tent flooded last year and i had to send Jacob away with the baby before he got really mad at it and i dried it out but 2 weeks later two poles broke...
It was just a little flooded. And infested with bugs. I was mad at it.
Looks like my old tent minus the screen porch...
I'm guessing thats the reason for getting the new tent?
Anybody got pictures of any changes/updates on the TRF grounds? I saw a photo of the new Polish pub on another site and it looks like it has a lot of potential.

As I mentioned in the Countdown thread, for those of you who also have Facebook accounts, Don English has posted a couple of photo albums:
First Weekend - Saturday, 9-Oct-10 (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2065782&id=1120047966)
First Weekend - Sunday, 10-Oct-10 (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2065784&id=1120047966)
I don't know if he posts here on RenFest Forums, or not.
There are some good shots of Cassidy & Chris, Cassidy & Meg, and a lot of other folks who may be here on the Forums.
Take Care,

Valt has several characteristics similar to that Tree Guy ... (tall, quiet, fairly inconspicuous - except for the Top Hat! ;) ) you may not know he's around, unless you actually see the sun glinting off the camera lens. 8)
Nice shots! Fantastic job with the calendar too, Valt.

Most were shot with the 100-400mm lens on my 7D. I had my 24-70mm on a 40D body for some of the other shots.

My friend Laura had not been to TRF in many years, and had never been in garb. I talked her into getting some garb and now she is hooked on faire! A kind gent got this shot of us in front of the Rose -N- Thistle shop behind the stage where the Ironhill Vagabonds were playing.

week 2
http://www.pbase.com/paul42/trf_2010_wk2
Was really hoping to find a pic of me somewhere in the pics from last weekend. I only know of a couple times someone stopped us for pics, but dh said that he saw people taking pics of me on the sly some as well.
Crazy me didn't get anyone to take a pic of me on saturday in my bellydance garb and now my sil has run off to lubbock with my beaded bra top to drum up some more business with it as it's the best one she's done (so I can't even get a pic of me post-faire in my garb). :'(

Very nice. Are these hand-held, or tripod? Guessing long exposure then flash (bulb mode?), similar to light painting?
Yes - hand held, 1 to 2 second shutter, rear curtain flash, aperture adjusted according to the amount of light from the flames

Thanks for the info. I have not yet played around with rear curtain flash, but may have to try my hand at it soon.
Here are my (accumulated) pics from second weekend. I'm the good looking guy in the kilt. No, the other guy. No, not that one, either. Yes, THAT one. :)

The gal in the picture is my pal Georgia "Puddles the Pirate Kitty"; her and the other Clan Moo and P.O.P people do these fire shows quite a bit..they're quite talented and aRRRR fun to watch (and have a drink with :) ) Thanks for taking these! Light painting style is so awesome!

I know they make camo covers for your camera lenses, but who will make you a camo Top Hat? :D
Megan,
Can you email me the ones you got..I can't get the computer to save them...:(
Anyone get any photos of the fairy Garb 2nd weekend??? I don't have many photos of it! Cat
Valt: could be the top hat... or just you ;) lol

Best thing about being married to the Lovely Lady Trinn (aside from the obvious of course) is that I get to avoid having my picture taken.
She distracts the cameras and I move slightly aside... problem solved for me lol

Great shots, Meg!
I actually saw a shot of my back in photo "19 of 85" (IMG_9470.JPG). It's the first shot from anyone that I've seen me in.
Great photo's Meg!

Nice set of photos.
Some may be wondering where is your left hand in Photo #170? :o 8)
Oh, and I get the impression from looking at Photo #5 that Valt is taller than you... ;) ;D
Take Care,
David Baldock
My hands were at my side ... I'm the innocent one! At least in that case ...
And yes ... Valt is more than a bit taller than me!
Its awards time again - and thinking back, I've never seen them mentioned on this site. Maybe thats why the east coast won all the awards last year (or I simply don't pay enough attention to the other forums on the site ;D). Anyway, best photography is a category so I thought I'd put the link up here so that everyone can vote for their favorite.

Keep in mind, this is nothing more than a huge popularity contest (ie, who has the most fans/friends/etc) That being said maybe we can get some Texas people on the list of winners (o:
LOVE that pic of you Teach!
yeah yeah... my anonymous status was blown. sigh
I don't think I am exactly photogenic so I avoid pictures like the plague

It was
SO good to make it to faire yesterday! That re-energized me to no end. Thanks for the hugs and to those who listened to my rambling on about work. It helped get it out of my system.
Also thanks to Vault for allowing me to play with his 100-400mm lens (I let him play with my 200mm f/2.8 prime in exchange). Vision is best, but gear is good. ;D
Yay! I'm in the opening weekend set! I love it. Is it ok that I post it on Jingles' page, Melkar?
Hey Melkar, it was good to see and visit with you on Saturday!
I decided to experiment and shoot RAW images with my Nikon D90 on Saturday, so now I'm having to convert from .nef to .jpg before uploading to the Internet. At the current time, the program is about 1/3 of the way through the ~950 photos. Once that's done I'll upload them to Flickr and Facebook, as usual. It may be after I get home from work tonight, since I'm fairly sure it won't be finished before I have to head to work in 40 minutes.
Take Care,
David Baldock
I have my pictures up from Saturday, although I am sorry to say that I got mostly just my own group. Next time, I intend to focus more on getting good shots of others.
Still - we had a fabulous time - couldn't have asked for better weather!

Was there any photographers out Bachanal weekend?
We were accosted several times by a photography class that was taking pictures for a class. I just wondered if any of ours were out.
Yeah, haven't seen much from that weekend! We got stopped plenty of times! I'm hoping to find a pic of my wee king.

Welcome to the world of RAW - the black hole that devours disk drives and CPU cycles. BUT I like the results better and it has saved my patootie more than once. ::)
Ack, it's been so long since I uploaded a picture
Try the link below, it should be open to the public.

I don't know how long it took for the program to convert all of the NEF's to JPG's, but it was finished when I got home from work at 11:50PM. The JPG files take up about 7 GB on the disk, and the NEF's take up about 10 GB. Since I make backups onto at least 2 different drives, that's 34 GB used locally, plus the 7 GB I upload to my Flickr Pro account as an
offsite backup.
I'm currently uploading photos to my Facebook account, but won't get finished before I go to bed at ~2:00 AM. The rest will be uploaded to Facebook & Flickr when I wake up in the morning.

As always truly wonderful photos!
I've now uploaded the 900+ photo's to Facebook Albums and a Set on my Flickr account, including over 200 of the evening Fireworks. This is the first time I've ever tried taking pictures of Fireworks, so they aren't as crisp and clear as future ones will be (after I find some hints & tricks on shooting Fireworks ;) ).

7th Weekend
http://www.renfestphotos.com/2010/11/26/texas-renaissance-festival-2010-7th-weekend-barbarian-invasion/
Thanks, Valt!
I attended 1001 Dreams, Barbarian Invasion, and Celtic Christmas and was hoping someone on here might have taken photos of me since I left my camera back at camp.
I was with daughter for 1001 Dreams, I being a spring fairy and she being a Autumn Fairy.
(http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w180/Texas-Blondy/AmandaandMeRenaissance.jpg)
I vaguely remember (through a haze of mead) a conversation with 2 photographers at the Sea Devil tavern at evening time on Barbarian Weekend during which they both took pics of me. Then there was a conversation of whose lens was bigger, whose aperture was wider.....ect.
If anyone has any photos of me or us I would greatly appreciate them.
(http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w180/Texas-Blondy/IMG_0084.jpg)
Amazing photos! I'm actually trying to hunt some of my husband, his sister and I down...I remember (even while under the influence of fermented tasties) hamming it up to quite a few cameras on Oktoberfest Saturday...This is a pic that Vance took, most of mine are via camera phone because my camera bit the dust before Opening Weekend :(
...just realized I have no idea how to attach a picture.

Those are great, Melkar! You got a fun one of me and my son!
Thank you Melkar! They're wonderful!
I am beginning to think, after looking through thousands of pics, that T, that engineering genius at CMDF, that his claims about the Hyperdine Time Piece, which will move a person through time, are true, that it ...............
......................is 99% effective at ensuring that you don't leave a photographic record in the past. The thing is a bloody cloaking device!
Or just be
<--- non photogenic
And that will keep ya out of the pics as well. Oh and don't be doing something stupid while a camera is present. So far been able to avoid that scenario as well.
Actually, "stupid" tends to end up on someone's camera. Where it lurks beneath the web surface until the most inopportune moment.

It is something of a mystery. Other renfest photographers show up, even the 'danes, but hardly ever me. It might be understandable if all the others looked like Lady Starkwell.....but of course, they don't.
Now, on someone's camera, somewhere, there was a shot of me with Rhianna and perhaps another (we were plotting for Dreamie's Birthday party) but haven't seen it yet. And normally, I would just accept it as the way things are since one is always behind the camera but rarely infront of it.........but now seeing shots of others who are also behind the camera...................
.....................it makes one wonder.
