Seville Images with my iPhone 6S

This set of images were all taken with my iPhone 6s, with the native camera. I tend not to use a camera app, I'm just quicker with the camera that is just a swipe away. If I had been a second later I would not have gotten the pigeons in the archway, and sometimes a second is all you have. 

My favorite apps for processing are Snapseed, DistressedFx and sometimes Enlight. 

Some of these were processed in Photoshop and had textures added there, I have more creative control that way. 

For those of you that have an iPhone, there's no good reason you can't make photographs you're happy with, too!

A little courtyard we stumbled upon, we ate lunch just next to it outside.

On our way home after dinner in the rain, we ducked into a doorway to wait it out a bit. I saw these amazing knockers, and liked the light with Joe looking at them. Those are hands and oranges, to match the orange trees everywhere.

Lunch al fresco, Arenal area by the Cathedral.

Arenal... these arches were good to me, so were the pigeons!

Two long legged fashionable women strolling along, this was a lucky shot.

Our waitress gave me a smile when I asked, good sports.

Sevilla!

More exploring this fascinating city with Joe, and I now have enough images to last me for a week or more, but alas, today we will go out and see some more wonderful things, camera handy. Somehow I never get tired of trying to find that compelling image! I see them everywhere, and here is my humble attempt to share them with you.

I'm posting this as a musician is playing lively music outside our window in the pedestrian only street we now live on. Makes it seem as if we are in a movie! Ole!

The countryside on our way to Seville. So far we have not ventured out of the city since we arrived, saving that for later.

So much to see right here, even paying the bill can look good :-)

Joe asking for directions, everyone is very helpful.

A tribute to photographers who know how to make their images into a cohesive portfolio... something I have not done for this post!

Fall Multiple Exposure Photography with a Canon 6D

I had the pleasure of organizing a workshop taught by Charles Needle, a talented teacher and photographer from Seattle, this past weekend in Plymouth, MA. All 9 students learned new techniques making original photographs mainly using our cameras to make multiple exposures. What a fun time and it was a lovely day on the pond of learning and photography!

Here's what I came up with, fun techniques!

Good friends Jeremie and Louise, with Beau wondering where his camera is.

Tricky balance.

On the Edge in Gordes, Provence

Joe and I are now in our new apartment in Isle de la Sorgue, a central location to explore Provence, and the Luberon. What a treat, gorgeous views and ancient buildings everywhere we look!

Yesterday we explored the town of Gordes, a small hilltop town about a 25 minute drive from where we are staying. We had the place nearly to ourselves and an excellent lunch to top off another great day!

Gordes in all it's splendor.

 A great lookout point just before entering town.  Joe in action....getting his images for his blog.

 The friendly town dog, saw him in several locations, this is his town.

 Spring is here!

 The Eglise in town is falling apart, but makes for some great texture.

 Must have: a cat in a window image.

 Walking home.

 White dog with man 'touching' tail.

 Man reading a real book.

I couldn't pass up this great reflection.
