I did another small series of MD Renn Fest  shots this Fall, but a freak Oct. snowfall prevented me from doing the PA one this year.

April, the confident, photogenic vendor shown here, was introduced to me by Tom, (another roving, middle-aged photographer who was toting an impressive lens and digicam). 🙂 He said he has a Realist camera and was into NSA and such a few years ago, and I invited him to jump back into the fold.

Anyway, I did a few shots of her and others that warm day. I waited until the later afternoon when the sun slanted thru the thick, forest canopy of the grounds. It really is a special time, and no, I didn’t usually bother with fill-flash or reflectors. I like the way the sharp lighting heightens the fabric textures of the costumes, even at the expense of harsher shadows on the skin. Check out the fine print detail on those bills she holds!  I got a whole, small series of various Renn Denizens, (including 1st attempts at Bob V. Style close-up portraits).  I’ll slip more into the folios to come.
