I... AM... PUMPED!!

If you can't wait until may..there should be plenty of other reenactments around you can check out and get the exact same pictures. Pretty much every reenactment is identical these days with a few minor exceptions and differences. The 'carnival not carnage' atmosphere reigns supreme.
The artillery will start their "duel" for half an hour...both 'armies' will march out in various numbers at various points and bang away at each other 20 yards apart for 20 minutes...then one side will charge..then the other will charge....and then in a final gasping 'dramatic' attempt, the scripted winner/loser will charge again and 90% of the reenactors will take goofy looking hits upon the works while the 6 people who took hits in the previous hour of banging away at each other sit up and take pictures on their iphones.
Indeed friend, no need to wait until May.

Mileage may very...but in case you TRULY couldn't wait until May I was just giving you the heads up

Seen one, seen 'em all, eh? Sounds like the joy has been knocked out of it for you. Sad.

LOL. Since we're in the boonies and covering sports for the paper, we go prepared. Luckily, we do have a monopod. Those long lenses get really heavy by the end of a six man football game.

Those long lenses get heavy after the first 15 minutes no matter WHERE you are.

No joke! It's all an old lady can do to run up and down a football field lugging one! (Six man is a very fast-paced game!)

Stay at the 50 yard line with long glass that's got a lot of focal range! Zoom in, zoom out. Kinda like the Karate Kid... wax on, wax off. Expired Image Removed
