I met this woman spinning at the medieval fair. When I stopped to ask if I could photograph the entire group of older people in the tent came to discuss digital photography versus film - a delightful experience
I am somewhat biased as I am a spinner myself! This is beautiful. Did you get a shot with the wheel spinning and her hands drafting the yarn? She could still have looked at you while doing that.
Beautiful shot. Love the vignetting. What an amazing outfit she is wearing too. I took a photo of a woman spinning wool at Tocal last weekend and I will put it in my Friday people shots in a couple of weeks. Mine isn't as good as this though.
@ethelperry Thanks for the idea. I didn't get more of an action shot, but will have to remember to try that next year at the fair. It would be a great shot
