Photographer’s Note

I feel almost ashamed to post this photo, it is of such a bad quality for TE standards... i went thru a period of not using flash at all (i still prefer not to use it).
This photo was taken around 6/7 pm, natural light was going away, (you can see some shops with their lights on in the background)
What I like here, and the reason to post it, is that you get the feeling of the market, people rushing home after a long day, others in a rush to get their shopping done before the vendors leave...
Street markets are always colorful, hectic, pitoresque.
At this market I bought some of the best tangerines in the world, they were really tiny, deep orange, no seeds and very sweet and juicy...

Very clever photo. Lovely sense of movement through the blurred images, yet at the same time a crisp capture of the woman in the centre. I'm sorry, you say poor quality, but really there are some photographers who go out of their way for this effect.

I think this is a superb photo, in which the motion blur emphasizes the bustling market place, and the single sharp face draws our attention to the isolated character.

you have nothing to be ashamed of...natural lighting is always best in my opinion...u get the real thing. check out my recent post...reminds me of what you captured here...blurry yet still images are clear...it's a motion pic too of boys playing bball...in natural lighting as well. i like how the center of the pic is clearer than the rest...nice colors!
