As I seem to do more often than not, I never<\/span> did follow up on an early-2015 blog post that I intended<\/span> to be just an\nintroduction. In January<\/span> 2015 I posted<\/span> “<\/span>The 2015 Young-Adult Archery\nEvent at the Sanjusangendo Temple<\/a>”<\/span> with a few<\/span> pictures and a “<\/span>To be continued...<\/i>”<\/span> ending. So here we<\/span> are, 16 months\nlater, I've come across the event in my photo archives.The event for recently-come-of-age adults is introduced and descried on the\nearlier post, so I'll just get into the photos.<\/p>\n\n

As I've mentioned in other posts about this annual event, the crowds<\/a> are\nutterly ridiculous. Having made the effort to get close in previous years, the above photo shows the closest I bothered<\/span> with this\ntime.<\/p>\n\n

At one point I did have a view of the board used to indicate to the archers whether they\nconnected on either of the two arrows they were allowed to shoot. Six archers<\/span> shoot at once,\nso the board shows the results for twelve arrows:<\/p>\n\n

Rather than try to muscle my way through the crowds to see the actual event, I spent<\/span> more time in the less-crowded areas, using\nmy big lens<\/a> to reach across the crowds to zoom in on scenes of\ninterest...<\/p>\n\n

With crowds like we had, and my not being 10 feet tall, I often<\/span> got unlucky with people caught out of focus in the frame, such\nas the big orb at the bottom of the shot above, which I assume<\/span> is some person's head.<\/p>\n\n

I also had my 70-200 zoom<\/a> for more-traditional shots.<\/p>\n\n

When the kids posed, they usually did so without the heavy leather glove worn on the pulling hand while shooting,\nand never<\/i> posed with an actual arrow...<\/p>\n\n

I tried not to contribute to too much “<\/span>mob scene”<\/span> feeling, so would retreat to a quiet<\/span> distance with my long lens. So while<\/span> the crowd above continued, I opted<\/span> for a different<\/span> approach to the same subjects...<\/p>\n\n

As I seem to do more often than not, I never did follow up on an early-2015 blog post that I intended to be just an introduction. In January 2015 I posted \"The 2015 Young-Adult Archery Event at the Sanjusangendo Temple\" with a few pictures and a \"To be continued...\" ending. So here we are, 16 months later, I've come across the event in my photo archives.The event for recently-come-of-age adults is introduced and descried on the earlier post, so I'll just get into the photos.<\/p>
