Nothing to do with hunting, but every year in my little town of Rambouillet they hold a medieval festival. People dress up in costumes reminiscent of the middle ages, artisans who keep alive old manufacturing methods and peasants who breed oxen and draught horses all get together.

It was a terrible day for photography, shooting into the sun all morning since the sun has already descended low on the horizon as winter approaches.

















The lighting pretty much forced me into using an HDR treatment to lighten the shadows.

I think you did fine work on the pictures. What a great tradition for a town.
What is the the population of Rambouillet ?

I don't see anything wrong with your photos either, they really look great! Good color saturation, and it looks like you used a 28mm wide-angle on the first 5 pics - very nice! I'd love to go there some day. It looks like a blast!

Population of Rambouillet is 26,000. Photos were taken with a Nikon D700 and a Nikkor 16-35mm f/4 zoom lens. The first photos, most of the photos in fact, were taken at the 16mm focal length.

While the majority of the things in the next photo are representations of old fashioned stuff, the table mat in this stand looks is undoubtedly from West Africa, most likely from the town of Dori in Northern Burkina Faso.

Absolutely love the basketmaker. His headgear is perfect. The ox looks like a Chianina. What a gorgeous specimen.
