So the exhibition is now open for public! I’d lie if I said it was a crowd magnet, but the (very) positive thing is that the few people did come also liked the pictures. Co-incidentally, the Ljusdal camera club was holding an open-air exhibition in town which was a lucky break for me, because the club members made out a large portion of my visitors. If I’m going to have another exhibition, I have to advertise more or it will be downright embarrassing with the lack of visitors!
A few times I listened to the visitors without them knowing I was the photographer and they were still saying nice things. I didn’t keep score but I got the feeling that the nuthatch picture drew the most comments. I’m not surprised… it’s probably my favourite as well!
Since I had some time in between visits, I had a look around Rosehills. It’s a garden market so there were plenty of flowers, even if it’s a late season and a lot of shelves were already empty. I was going to have the camera with me anyway because inevitably, some people will want to talk about the technical side of photography (especially the camera club members), but obviously it was useful for shooting the flowers as well. I didn’t want to complicate things with a tripod so I was missing the stabilised version of the 150mm macro… I’m trying to resist!
