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!

Fellow Photographers and Friends in Cuba

I loved going to Cuba with Road Scholar, it was a treat the entire 9 day program!! We saw and experienced so many different types of places, and the icing on the cake were the 14 people we shared our adventures with. From as far as Nebraska, but mainly New Englanders, we shared a common bond of photography, but the spirit of camaraderie, flexibility, excitement, anticipation, and agreeableness everyone had made it a particularly wonderful trip! Thank you!

Linda and Dick from Lexington with Essdras, our fearless leader and award winning photographer., who made it all fun! Essdras always had 2 cameras :-)

 He wasn't on the tour with us, but followed us everywhere!

 Essdras took this photo of our group, as well as the next. You can see what an awesome group we are!

Essdras on El Malecon the Saturday night Michelle, Asha and I went out with him to enjoy the lively weekend ritual of the young people being seen. 

Michelle with her blond hair was a big attraction on El Malecon. Everyone was very friendly and respectful.

 Buddy using his elbow technique to hold his camera steady, always something new to learn!

Linda and Dick at the farm. More Nikon shooters, a strong majority were Nikon shooters, only a few of us Canon people on this trip.

 Michelle, Asha, Steve, and me having a sunset drink at our hotel in Havana.

At the main art museum in Havana, with our trusty bus waiting. We were very comfortable, lots of room and luxury on the bus. 

  Our time in Havana would not be complete without a ride in one of the beautifully renovated convertibles!  Linda and Dick in the from seat.

 Jim, Asha and me in the back, fun!!

Jim getting some 'medical' care from Essdras after an amazing save he made! He tripped, but instead of hitting the pavement full on and breaking something like most of us would have, he rolled and came out with only a scratch!

Street Photography Workshop with Essdras

Essdras M. Suarez and I led a street photography workshop in Boston yesterday, and what a great day to be out and about in Boston!! Spirits were high, the Red Sox parade took place and thousands of people came to enjoy the celebration.

We had scheduled our workshop months ago, and having all the fans in town was an extra bonus for us, along with the mild, perfect weather. A great time was had by all, and here are a few photos I took during our 8 hours of walking around Boston. The workshop was through my website Photography Events by Amy.

 The Boston Police were ready and looking good.

An agreeable and fun group of photographers attended the workshop, great spirit and energy made for a wonderful day.

 Ahh, the fans...

 In Chinatown time stands still, the old way is honored.
