These are actually just snaps on my Pixel. I kinda wish I had brought my Nikon, especially with my 200 mm lens, for some shots, like the falconry today!
I'm not sure how strict they were on cameras for the general public. I got in with my HEMA group as one of the vendors/"reenactors" and there was no check whatsoever on what I brought in. This is also the Abbey History Festival, not the much, much bigger Abbey Mediaeval Festival. Their first year running this event as far as I know (and from some commentary I heard, possibly their last). Not sure if they'd be as strict with cameras here as they would be at the bigger event.
I live just around the corner from the Abbey grounds these days. If I'd have realised this was on, I'd have dropped in! I don't think I'll be back for another medieval festival. Something smaller sounds ideal
I'm amazed you got such good photos! They're so strict about cameras!
