HEMA! (www.adp-photography.com)
In training for a tournament, the guys of the Eskisehir Historical European Martial Arts group and me...they practice with their swords...me with a canon.
Photography for me is usually about escaping to the peace and quiet and stillness of nature...so this was a bit of a challenge, slightly different but fascinating in its own way. Amazingingly detailed in the theory and technique, very skillful swordsmen.
There are HEMA organisations in most European countries the UK and US, and here in Turkey too.
Shots from the Eskisehir Meet and Beat tourney coming soon..
When I get round to sorting them...12 hours of bouts. It was a long day...the shot here from a training session in the weeks before the national event.
