Uno de los stands que pudimos encontrar en la feria Medica de Dusseldorf, celebrada del 12 al 15 de noviembre de 2013
Got my new Lensbaby Composer today so of course I had to test it out. Great lens for those boring days. The selective focus and "softening" quality of the lens gives it a lomography feel to the pictures.
For my friend Posicat's birthday, a group of us got together for a visit to Medieval Times in Shcaumberg.
The show was technically impressive. Great lights and sound. Lots of action. The stage combat was a little bit unconvincing to me at times, but it was still fun to watch.
What weirded me out was the plot. It started out as a ren-fairesque chivalrous tournament. That was enjoyable. But at the end it devolved into a spectacle that reminded me of Roman gladiatorial combat. It became out-and-out blood sports, and I was uncomfortable watching it, and with the crowd's reactions to it.
There were some plot threads that were a bit difficult for me to follow as well, but I blame that on a combination of hearing difficulties and distraction with my camera.
Shooting the event was a lot of fun. I learned more about how to use my manual f2.8 135mm prime. There were many pretty horses and pretty men to keep pointing my camera at.
The food was plentiful and good too. I was a little unsure about how much to tip servers, since I don't know whether they make tipped minimum wage or not, how many people they're serving, and how much work was going on behind the scenes.
Anyway, the whole thing was pretty fun. I don't need to go again, but I'm glad to have gone out and done something memorable for a friend's birthday.
