    I did notice the festival does allow you to register as a photographer - no idea how difficult that is to get

    Still doesnt really deal with the crowd in the background of shots of course

    Of course, the real truth is that the spectators also make the festival what it is and it wouldn't be the same without them. What costume did you wear.

    I tried to get into the 1230pm jousting but it was full. I was glad I hadn't when it rained. Instead, I went at 2.30pm and sat in that driving rain instead. Still worth the inconvenience though. I also went Sunday and it was dry for me.

    True of course, and I was just another spectator myself

    I missed the jousting on the Sat, but caught 2 sessions of it on the Sunday, much better weather until later in the afternoon.

    Looks like you took the extra rope out too. I did, because it was in the way. Do you usually attach your pics to your posts. This is your attachment text with a change to see it.

    My pics for this website are all held in Photobucket and they show here without any problems. (well... except for my bad processing)

    This is one of my jousting pics. The rest are unedited still.
