The Watauga County Farmer's Market was in full swing Saturday morning and I took a few dollars along with my Nikon camera to check things out. Going to market has become a tradition for many in the High Country as it is not only a place to find fresh and local goods but is a splendid place to interact with real live human beings instead of on Twitter and Facebook.
I didn't want to carry much photo gear, so the only lens I used was the Nikon 50 mm 1.4. I limited myself to shooting with the aperture wide open to shoot the flowers. You might say I like to shoot bouquets with plenty of bokeh. (Sorry, that is photo geek-y humor.)
I made a small album of images I ripped off my Facebook page.
What did I buy at the market? This time I was so busy shooting and visiting with friends and neighbors, I walked out with a bag of 400 red wiggler worms, a pound of Charles Church port and a belly filled with a shot of wheatgrass juice. Next time, I'm hitting the coffee and goat cheese!
