Flamenco, Spain

Picture of a flamenco dancer, Granada, Spain

Flamenco, Spain

If you get the impression I enjoyed taking pictures of the flamenco dancers, you’d be right :)   This picture was taken during the least impressive show – its one advantage is that the lacklustre performance didn’t distract me from taking pictures!

  29. Terrific photo. Great motion and color. My camera bag is entirely dependent on where I’m going and what my means of travel is. But one thing I never travel without which I didn’t see mentioned is a tripod.

    • Transport definitely makes a difference. Living in Australia, one way or another most of my travel involves flying, so I pack around that.

      It’s interesting you say that – my guilty photography secret is that I don’t use a tripod! I have a gorilla-pod which I take with me most places (and which normally stays in my bag), but that’s it. I love the way everyone has different ‘must-have’ pieces of kit.
