Shot with "el cheapo" 55-250 EF-S zoom, on 60D:
1- archers tournament as a side event to the Palio, in the garden of the Rocca :
2- tournament open to women... :
3- and to children :
4- He's got an EVIL girlfriend  :
5- This guy full of tramp stamps was walking around with a little boy and two absolutely gorgeous, mind-blowing beauties.
He also acted a bit strange, and the company did not look at all like a family. Methinks he was a high-level pimp:
6- This archer guy has whole poems tattoed on his arms and legs. Additionally I would say that it looked like he didn't wash his hair since 1983:
7- Concentrating?

I'd say he was there for the same reason that lead there the "Hunn" of the last image
People who take part to these tournaments like to dress in the strangest ways, some like Robin Hood, some Scottish, some Mongolian, some Renaissance... it's really a funny pout-pourri

Orio, these are all very nice i like the last one, a great moment captured there, you make a standard zoom like this look good.
Probably down to good processing and the skill of the photographe.

El cheapo performs well given the conditions.
You might be right with that guy, the pimp one.
Look at those tatoos.
Different from the archer.
Me thinks that was a cast/selection for Robin Hood gang. The tatooed archer looks like Little John.
Trees are the same in every forest be it Sherwood or Italy.
Did I go to far?

Ah for the Scotsman, maybe the film "Brave heart" was shown in Italy...if you ever see the film, the only thing that was accurate was:- there was a person called Wallace... Oh wait Mel Gibson also got the name of the English king right

Hope you don't mind Orio but I've a few shots that would fit in nicely in this thread as IMO it's not worth starting a new thread :-
Lifelike soldiers in Warwick castle, taken about 16 years ago and I've had to scan the 6X4" prints as the negs have slipped out somewhere, heavily sharpened with your (Orio) Photoshop program. I think the camera might have been my ETRs?
The human is my Father

Very nice costumes and ambient, the lighting unfortunately is harsh which is nearly unavoidable using on-camera flash as main source.
And of course the cameras of 16 years ago did not allow for the stellar iso limits of today's digitals.
