Ex 14: An organised event - Scotland's Festival of History

I spotted this event in our local paper and it proved a great family day out for our nephews who love  Horrible History books and DVDs. I perhaps have not focused as much as I should on capturing candid spectator shots but there was so much of interest with the reenactors that I got caught up photographing them.

 As I mentioned in Ex 9, I used a 55-200mm lens for candid shots and to help me feel unobtrusive. I think each picture is a story in itself and the set shows the diversity of historical periods. The event was held at Lanark Racecourse and each historical period shown had a specific link to Lanarkshire. The event is the largest of its kind in Northern Britian.
