Checking out some of the Wargamers at the Other Partizan
Portraits of Wargamers
October 13th 2024 saw me driving up the A1 97 miles to the Newark Showground in Nottinghamshire for the Other Partizan 2024. Called the ‘other’ because it is the second Partizan show in the year; recent years have seen shows in May and October.
I try to go to Partizan whenever I can but I missed this year’s May show so I was particularly looking forward to the October one.
Partizan is certainly one of the best wargames shows around the country
There is always a fantastic array for wonderful wargames going on throughout the day and Sunday was no exception. All tastes, are catered for. There are games covering every genre and the amount of figures on the table varied form two single figures going head to head, to several thousand figures on display for all to see and enjoy.
I take photos of all the tables and usually produce a YouTube video, which you can see below.
My other main interest, apart from wargaming, is photography. Although mainly a sports photographer, I really enjoy taking photos of people, whether that be in a studio posed environment or candid shots on the street when I’m out and about.
This year I spent some time just watching and capturing some of the wargamers at the Other Partizan.
If you’re interested, all the below photos were taken on a Fuji X-T5 with a Viltrox 75mm F1.2 lens.
