I couldnt get down in time for the Battles on Saturday due to work so took the trusty Camera along and took some of the Battle as I just got there in time.
Sorry to anyone I drowned as a water carrier on the Sunday hehe. Disslocated my Shoulder in the morning so couldnt fight. I made a worse Carrier then an fighter heh :}
Wow, you may not have been a good water carrier (So you say, i dont know) but your pictures are bloody fantastic. Always better when i'm in them i must admit....

There great mate.!!
I was behind the ropes too but ive a 70-300mm VR lens on my D300 so I can get really close.
I steped up from my Slr to a Dslr last month and its make all the difference.

I was using a DSLR too (Minolta, also with 70-300mm zoom from the film era, so that would be equivalent to about 450mm on digital). Perhaps it was just that the battle fighting was closer to the ropes than the skirmish fighting I shot. More than half my good fighting shots are blocked by some skirmisher standing around idly watching the bill-blocks clashing.
You've got a good one of me leading a line into the fray - it's very rare I actually see myself on battle photos. But still the only one of me actually in action is the Battle of Tewkesbury postcard - along with about 249 other combatants!
Of course he has a knife. He always has a knife. We all have knives - it's 1183 and we're barbarians.
Hi guys, new here but re-enacting for many years. Fantastic pics guy, awesome work. Blore was a stunning finish to the season
Was Jesus experiencing lag when it took him 3 days to resurect
He hoped and prayed that there was'nt an afterlife, then realising the contraction mearly hoped - Dougals Adams
Some excellent pictures of the event on the Blore heath website www.bloreheath.org.
Alot of superb individual portraits, which capture many of the contributors to this forum. (Alas with the exception of my goodself, I appear to have been wearing my invisibility cloak - I don't figure in any of them). Alot of good kit, with occassional exceptions - noticeably the rust bucket in picture 16/17. A really good set of photo's which capture the spirit of the event.
Buckets "piece de resistance" also appears to have been captured on film.
A good sword, a trusty hand, a merry heart and true.
Holy sweet mother of god, I'm not a small lad, hell I know I could do with loosing a couple of stone, but b**ger me, those pictures (On the Blore site) make me look obese! I blame Dave's Breastplate!

On a positive note though, it gave me the kick up the ass I needed to diet!
