Rapier Champions' War Point

I did not shoot this entire event due to time contraints. Perhaps next year I will do so.

Absolutely gorgeous shots! Also helps to see where a fighter (me) might have screwed up (falling). :) Thanks for taking them and showing them to the world!

Absolutely wonderful.

These are easily some of the best fencing pictures I have ever seen. They catch the spirit of rapier combat in a way that is usually lost in photographic form.

Thank you for them.

It's a combo of both Duncan. If you were at this event, you may have seen me lying prone, like a sniper, lens trained at the dualists. I would just sit there, waiting for action then I snap 3 or 4 shots at a time... pause, refocus/compose... repeat. The only problem I had was the sun. Lying on the ground was like lying on a frying pan...

Darter, There are some of the best up close action fencing shots I've seen in a long time. You've captured so many parries and thrusts at exactly the right momemt. As a photographer, I'm thrilled that you were able to do that. I can only imagine that you've got either perfect timing, or you were shooting continuous and we're just seeing the final image you chose to keep.

Darter-- please email me at cf(at)klocktower.org. I'll be happy to commission you to shoot the entire tourney next year.

Christian Fournier, Lt. General for Midrealm Rapier.

I would like to point out to everyone who comes to this gallery that Illadore came to Vlad's Slave Auction to bid on me. The intent was to buy me to shoot this event. Due to a missunderstanding with Vlad's minions, I did not go up on the auction. I did, however, find Illadore and accept the project. I just wish I had known it was going to run so long. Next time, I will try to shoot the entire event.

Darter, you're amazing. Thank you so much!!
