2008 Anderson Ren Faire

By chance, we heard of a Ren Faire going on out in the fields of Anderson. With ZERO information, aside from the town name, we followed a caravan of vehicles heading through town, to, lo and behold, the faire!
Anderson is pretty small, so we figured 8 cars all following each other had to be headed somewhere interesting! I'm actually being serious, too.

From a tech standpoint, all shots are with the Canon 40D with HL Priority on (although it doesn't appear to do that much) and either a Tokina 12-24/4 or Canon 24-70/2.8L up front. All the fight scenes are with the Canon. I should have converted to sRGB first as some colors are muted.
