Helpful Posts: I visited the Renaissance Faire in Escondido, CA today with the intent of shooting portraits. However I only spent about two hours at the Faire because the temperature was 95 degrees Fahrenheit (about 17.7 Centigrade) and climbing by 10:30 AM when I left.
I did manage to grab about 40 decent portraits in the time I was there. I shot with my Sony APSC cameras: The A6400 with a Sony 50mm f/1.8 OSS lens and the A6500 with the Sony 85mm f/1.8 lens. I had a small Flashpoint/Godox TTL350S on each camera for a bit of fill flash... This was a really nice lightweight combination for walk around photography...
Here are the portraits on my smugmug site:

Re: Renaissance Faire Portraits...
It looks like you had a good outing.
Your Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion is off quite a bit. 95°F = 35°C.

Re: Renaissance Faire Portraits...
It was a fun couple of hours - if it wasn't so hot, I would have stayed longer. Tomorrow would have been a better day to visit the Faire but, I am committed to shooting at Mission San Luis Rey for their pre-Dia de los Muertos festivities... That should be fun also and the first of the four Dia de los Muertos celebrations that I am hoping to attend this year.

Re: Renaissance Faire Portraits...
Gorgeous set Richard. I wish I had your skill in engaging with people to take their photos. Perhaps because I so hate having my photo taken, I find it hard to ask people if I can take theirs...

There is no stress or strain when asking their permission to photograph them...
