Plum Jerkum Dancers

Here’s a Plum Jerkum dancer having a puff after running out of puff dancing at Wallingford Bunkfest in early September. Plum Jerkum hails from Warwickshire, their name being derived from a cider made from the local Drooper plum. Apparently it has the local reputation of ‘leaving the head crystal clear while paralysing the legs’!

Here’s another image from the same set. Both shots were taken on a Leica M9 with a Leica 50mm Summilux lens.

It seems the first image, ‘Out of Puff’, above has also been accepted by the Leica Fotographie International Master Shots Gallery for the Leica M9. I feel honoured and very fortunate to have another piece of work selected. Another big smile of gratitude. I can recommend the gallery as a constant and challenging source of inspiration, as it contains some of the finest images I’ve seen.
The Master Shots galleries and the public galleries, which have multiple categories of images you can browse, are the best reference points I know to help you get a sense of how your own work compares to that of other photographers from all over the world.
