If the weather stays as nice as today, we will go to a mediaeval festival at Marburg castle tomorrow.
It's theme is "barber-surgeons, healers and medici".

My mom stays at our place this weekend, so I might find some time to shoot, since she loves to take care of our daughter. Cool

Keep your fingers crossed, mates! Wink

Thanks!

It was really great. All this strange food, all these colourful clothes...
We were there 5 minutes before it opened (11 am).
The only problem was that it got so crowded after about one hour that shooting was no longer possible, really.

I did not have the time to process my RAW files (and will not have the time to do that for quite a while, I'm afraid). But here are some quick JPEG impressions, shot with the Nikkor-O 2.0/35 or the Jupiter-9 2.0/85.



The smith and a guard



A "Garbrater" (some kind of BBQ)



The oriental section



A Medicus' tools



The basket maker (He was great! A really nice guy!)



A stonemason



A herold (also a great guy!)



The Smith who got in trouble because of fornication. Wink



A monk and healer



Two scholars



A silversmith



And some knights. Unfortunately, their "show" started after we had left.


As you can see, some of the pics are blurred (scholar and the stonemason esp.). That was my fault, I did not focus quickly enough. Sometimes I had to be fast, too fast for an MF lens...

Fantastic shots Carsten! You caught the mood of the day brilliantly, and found some interesting characters. I don't have a favourite, although I do like the "herold" (should that be "herald"?). Did they really wear spectacles in Medieval times? Wink

It must have been a really nice day, thanks for sharing.

@Attila: Yeah, your right, now that you mention it.

@Orio: It really was a nice day. Shame that we had to leave at 12.30.

@Peter: Thanks a lot. Glad you like it. Of course, you're right, that's "herald" (I used the German word.) About the glasses, I was thinking about that and checked Wikipedia. Glasses were invented at the end of the 13th century in Italy (Hello, Orio!). So I guess it's OK when they wear some.
One of the ladies I took a photo of, clandestinally took hear shades off when she saw me. She must have thought that this is no appropriate gear. Wink

One more impression (with a little post-production):

"Hangman"

Thanks. The biggest part of the merit goes to this "actor" and the great expression on his face. Shocked

The hangman is a keeper. I also enjoyed the monk, the symbolism of the horn is great. Laughing Laughing Laughing Embarassed

Great series, Carsten! I have no idea what symbolism Bob is referring
to about the monk and the horn... Laughing

Of course, the hangman looks like a pro shot it! Excellent work! Wink
