A Photo a Day #180

Molly


I actually got a bit more brave last weekend and asked this lovely lady for a photo. I saw her sat like this on the wall and thought she would be an amazing subject for a photo. A female Morris dancer is known as a 'Molly', hence the name of the photo. For convenience, I didn't shoot this in manual and sadly the aperture was too small to blur the background in the original shot. I didn't want to risk getting a poor shot or taking too much of the lady's time. I therefore had to apply my Photoshop skills to get the blur. In hindsight, I probably should have taken the time to shoot manually...

A Photo a Day #177

Morris With Me


These fierce Morris dancers from Somerset had amazing individual touches to their outfits, including masks. It looks like it's 'Morris Week' on the blog as The Poole Quay Folk Festival was amazing subject matter this weekend.

A Photo a Day #176

Morris On


Today I went to Poole Quay where they were holding a folk music festival. Traditional Morris dancers were out in their droves and were a fabulous opportunity for photography. I took 276 pictures today!
