A Thursday in April in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain


I spent a very pleasant morning walking around observing people going about their daily routines in Jerez de la Frontera. My camera of choice was my Canon 6D with an older Lensbaby Composer fitted with a star burst shaped aperture, that's how the points of light in some of the images have a star burst shape, all done by the camera... and the photographer. Sometimes a happy mistake :-)
The blurred edges are a result of the Lensbaby lens, an effect I enjoy playing with.

The outdoor market is always my favorite place and happens every morning in Jerez.


















This baby's grandfather gave me permission to take the photo. I love the baby's 'who are you?' look.

Summertime in Plymouth


I've been having so much fun with the Plymouth Digital Photographers Club this summer I've been remiss on my blogging. Not for lack of photos! I've set up 19 meetups with the group since I started it on June 15th and we are up to 140 members as of today. We had 2 other meetups that were set up and led by assistant organizer Julie. The positive feedback has been great and spurs me on to set up more events.

We've had 2 photo walks that started at the Farmers Market in Plymouth, a great place to photograph. Someone's sweet son was holding a 4 day old goat that the goat cheese farmer brought with her.

Sunrise at Ellisville Harbor.

The same sunrise, we were all so preoccupied taking photos we didn't see the tide rise and lock us in. It was impossible for pregnant Julie to walk the rocks, so Jamie was very gallant and carried her to safety. Julie went into labor an hour after she got home that morning and had a beautiful baby boy that same day. What an adventure!

Back to the Farmers market... these are a bit out of order... Joe joined us for this event and we stopped off at the Plymouth Yacht Club for a different view of the harbor.

Pegge and Shawn. Pegge's come a long way since she joined our group, she now has an email address and is learning her way around our site.
