Sheffield Fencing Tournament 2006

I sat at the corner of the piste of the two fencers in the foreground.

I watched the pattern of their fights for a bit - it was increadibly

repetitive - left fencer does an inital attack, fails. Fencer on

the right then starts their counter and fencer A looks completely

unaware that fencer B should even consider such a thing. Considering

that this was the fifth time this pattern had occured, you would have

thought the fencer on the left would have realised what was going on.

I set myself up after the second hit on the corner of the piste of the

two fencers in the foreground and waited for them to play their

routine again. As the fencer on the right delivers his attack, I

depressed the shutter and captured this scene.
