I've actually never danced Morris. I've got a lot of friends on many of

Since we were discussing the 55-300 in another thread, here are a bunch
of photos from Dickens Fair yesterday. The closeup photos of the singers
were shot with Nicole's DA 55-300:

The wide shots were mostly shot with my DA 15-30/2.8 and my walkaround
lens for the rest of the day was my Tamron 28-75/2.8.
The singers are a group called Brass Farthing, and the morris dancers
are a team called Pipe and Bowl. I did have fun on some of the photos
of the morris dancers by photographing them at ridiculously slow shutter
speeds.

I apologize for not picking out one or two, but while I'm generally
pleased with the set I don't have any particular favorites. As always
comments and constructive suggestions are appreciated.
