Last weekend was used to visit the 16th Knight Games of Castle Freienfels. In a camp with around 600 market stands and tents of mediaeval goods some entertainment of competition was also presented. A huge amount of visitors were dressed with clothings from former times, for sure the actors. This is a scene from Friday afternoon, a close up from two fighters in the battle. The benefit of the different weapons i.e. long distance ones like lances and short distance ones like swords was one of the topics.

Letztes Wochenende wurde genutzt um die 16ten Ritterspiele der Burg Freienfels zu besuchen. In einem Lager von etwa 600 Marktständen und Zelten voll mittelalterlicher Güter wurde auch unterhaltsamer Wettbewerb geboten. Ein erheblicher Anteil der Besucher war gekleidet wie in früheren Zeiten, natürlich auch die Akteure. Dies ist eine Szene von Freitag Nachmittag, eine Nahaufnahme von zwei Kämpfern in der Schlacht. Der Nutzen verschiedener Waffen, beispielsweise von Distanzwaffen wie Lanzen und Nahkampfwaffen wie Schwertern, war unter anderem Gegenstand der Vorführung.

Hello Ulf,
A good capture of this mock fight with lots of animation from the players and the spectators. Looks an interesting place to spend an afternoon taking everything in. Very good colours and clarity. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Ulf,
Some strong action going on. I'd also like to see such a big medieval event one day. Longish exposure has brought motion blur that well emphasizes action.

Hi Ulf,
These guys seem to have a good deal of fun! Nice light and difficult 'in the crowd' POV on the joust with nice colors and sharp details.
An interesting week end you had!
Greetings

Und warst Du auch verkleidet? Gute Perspektive auf das Spectaculum. Ich hätte aber eine kürzere Belichtung gewählt, da ich erst dachte, das das vordere Schwert ein Lichtreflex ist.
Viele Grüße,
Achim

Hallo Ulf,
da haben wir einen Szenen von anderen Zeiten, wie eine Fahrt in der Vergangenheit.
Anderseits sieht es ein bisschen witzig aus.-:)
Schönen Abend.

Hallo Ulf,
A vivid and joyful capture of that show. Perfect DOF and choice of shutter speed, that results in great clarity and sharpness in the areas where that it is important and a nice blur in other areas.
TFS, Um abraço, José.

i like this kind of historic events, good light and colours

Hi Ulf,
Spectacular capture of the Knight Games! Great photo with those two in action. Also really nice to see the 'modern' spectators in the background, enjoying the scene in the sun. The light is also really nice. The motion blur of the knight in the bottom left hand corner is wonderful too. Thanks for sharing!
Regards,
Lars

Hello Ulf,
Seems like you're having fun during weekends, hehehe!
It is my impression medieval plays like this are getting increasingly popular, probably need for some kind of nostalgic flashback...
A colourful frame with lots of action!
