Last Saturday the was a living history fair in St Neots, organised by St Neots Museum. There were a dozen or so stalls with reenactors covering periods from the Vikings to the Edwardians. Reenactors are always great value for a photographer. They are very willing to pose, to show off the costumes that they have put so much time and money into. The only difficulty is finding a sympathetic background. Not too hard at an historic dockyard or steam railway, but much trickier in the middle of a busy St Neots Market Square. So I gave up trying for clean shots of whole people and instead concentrated on hands and costume details.
