Cuba remembered

Last night at the Cambridge Camera Club we saw the results of a recent trip to Cuba by Roy Essary (https://shuttershot.co.uk/). It prompted me to go back and look at the photos I’d taken when we visited in 2009.

I was using a Sony DSLR A300 in those days and although most of the shots I took were reasonaably competent few stand out and I had not developed what has become my ‘style’ in the last few years. However there are a few which I reckon are pretty good and most of them remind me of that holiday and the unique experience that Cuba brought then and apparently still does.

A few notes on the above. Third down on the right is the interior of the Museo de la Revolucion (formerly the presidential palace). Fourth down on the left is the top of the Gran Teatro and below that El Capitalio, grandly built by one of the pre war presidents. Second up on the right is me with the Spaniard Antonio Gades who did much to promote flamenco in Cuba. Most of the photos were taken in Havana with the people shots being taken in Trinidad
