Something of a first....

Postby Raskill on Mon Jan 09, 2006 3:22 pm

I just heard that the town of Lithgow in the foothills of the Blue mountains west of Sydney is having an Iron Festival soon. Nothing overly exciting in that I know, but as part of the festival they are also having......

....a jousting competition! :shock: :shock:

I've never seen one in real life, and can only imagine it must be good to get some photos off. A quick google shows that it's done in full metal armour, with points awarded for shield hits, but not for skewering the other 'knight' or I imagine, killing them.

If anyones interested I'll keep them posted.
2x D700, 2x D2h, lenses, speedlights, studio, pelican cases, tripods, monopods, patridges, pear trees etc etc
