Steampunk Festival

Spent some time wandering around the Cathedral & Castle area this afternoon, photographing these elegant if strangely dressed people! This seems to be a phenomenon that has taken off over the last few years. Some very interesting subjects!
I know candids are usually black & white, but I liked the colour in this one.

Thanks everyone for your comments & favs, also tp. There were endless photographic opportunities at this event! Not something I had heard of before last year & I'm not totally sure that I understand it all now, but they are a fabulous sight to see!

Great capture - I only came across steampunk this year in Whitby. I saw the Lincoln festival on the TV. Wish I had known about it earlier I would have gone. Will definitely be more prepared for the next one in Whitby.
