On of my favorite characters out there; The Raven. He does some great silent magic and manipulations...

I think this guy could seriously kill someone.

Maybe not...he appears to have a soft spot for this lovely lady.

My favorite gypsy.

This guy had a several hundred firecrackers duct taped to his body....which he ignited to the audiences delight.

..and immediatley got extinguished by several hundred water balloons that the audience threw at him. Awesome. Well worth the $2 I tipped into his hat at the end.

Damn this is right down the road from my Father in laws house. Might be time to take a weekend trip, the RenFest in Maryland is over with tomorrow. Hadn't had a chance to go because of son's fall baseball.

Is this the 135mm f2 Ai-S or the DC? I found the Ai-s had terrible CA at f2.

ditto, cool shots. Normally I don't like a lot of processing, but it works with the subject.

Really cool images! Like some already mentioned, the PP is definitely something special and is very effective/applicable for those pictures

# 2 is just wonderful, 4 is great too.

The bokeh on #6 is a bit distracting. But it doesnt change the fact that this lens is my next in line Cant wait to afford it
