Jousting Competition - Let the games begin

Jousting demonstration/show/competition at the Renaissance Festival, Holly, Michigan, 2007.

It was interesting trying to get dynamic, action shots without getting dirt kicked at me by the horses, or shards of broken jousting poles flying too close. It was a lot of fun watching the show - but it was much shorter and the jousting was less authentic than previous years.

I like this shot because, at initial glance, it looks very authentic to the period - to my uneducated eye. But what happened to his gauntlets? Probably threw them at the feet of one of the other competitors!

What happened to his gauntlets? Good question. Some people are more comfortable controlling with bare hands, though, even though it's not exactly safe in the jousting context.
